I don't think I need to specify a shell. I'm just trying to provide the user with a quick 'n dirty test to verify that 'squeezecenter' has the correct permissions to execute /sbin/shutdown via sudo without raising any prompts. I.E., if:
sudo -u squeezecenter sudo /sbin/shutdown -k -h now ..executes without error and without prompting for a password, then the user has correctly configured his/her system with the correct entries in the /etc/sudoers file. My question is this: is that a valid test? Does that command actually execute 'sudo /sbin/shutdown' from the 'squeezecenter' user account? I'm guessing that it is. If I comment out: #%squeezecenter ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown ..from /etc/sudoers, then the above command fails the test (because it raises a prompt) and this indicates the permissions aren't correct in /etc/sudoers. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51688 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
