[r...@leam ~]# grep -i tty /etc/sudoers
Defaults    requiretty

That might help.  :)

Please DO NOT use Leam's example...

"Defaults requiretty" is a global sudoers security default, change the default at the user level... or, again; Don't do it at all.


Depends on the nature of the server. Changing sudoers is less problematic unless you have a lot of sudo'ing going on.

What do you see as the issue?

I thought it was somewhat clear from my previous post...

The entire point of sudoers is to manage and audit those running commands in escalation.

Whether the list is large or small, the entire point it to satisfy secuirty needs for auditing and accountability, globally adjusting the defaults to the sudoers file begins to slight against it's very reason for sudoers existing.

Particularly the session level limits (requiring a REAL tty), in the simplist way it prevents scary things like "rlogin -l iamleam Leamspc 'cd /; rm -rf'" from firing.

I would suggest reading the sudoers man page and the 2.6 kernel notes.
