Grant Configuring SUDO Root Privileges to Regular Users +Problem+

redir · 02-26-2007, 10:58 AM

Running FC3

Followed the instructions on this page: http://fedorasolved.org/post-install-solutions/sudo/

So I created the user and added him to Wheel. I edited the sudoers file.

When I run sudo whoami I get root which according to the tutorial proves that it is working.

Problem is I cannot run sudo lsof -i :80

I get sudo lsof command not found.

Can lsof only be run as root?

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Code:

sudo /path/to/lsof -i :80

You can get the path to lsof using the following command:

Code:

which lsof

My goodness that was a fast reply

[root@linuxtest bazhour]# which lsof
/usr/sbin/lsof

//NOW BACK TO MY USER

[bguzzardi@linuxtest ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/lsof

//prints lsof IT WORKS!

I forgot to mention that as root I can run lsof without the path no problem.

Anyway thank you very much for your time.
