Package: super Version: 3.30.0-6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, While playing around with super on a development box i added the following line to my super.tab: test 'echo test ok' user and got the error: super (line 35 in file `/etc/super.tab'): Format error in super.tab file: filename `echo test ok' is not an absolute path. Use global option relative_path=y if you really want such foolishness! So I did some pondering and decided that relative_path=n is a good idea, and that typing /usr/bin/echo instead of echo in one configuration file was not that hard, and went on to play with some other options.
The manpage for super.tab gives the example: op/* /usr/local/super/scripts/* :operators uid=0 so I was trying the line: /etc/init.d/* * :sudoers and it gives me the error: super (line 37 in file `/etc/super.tab'): Format error in super.tab file: filename `*' is not an absolute path. Use global option relative_path=y if you really want such foolishness! how anoying. the following workaround works: init.d/* /etc/* :sudoers as does: /etc/init.d/* /* :sudoers but ... how about something like /(etc/init.d/*) /* :sudoers -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages super depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 Versions of packages super recommends: ii logrotate 3.8.1-4 super suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/super.tab changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
