Thumbs up Re;sudoers


Hi,
I have got answers to the questions i asked previously, please say whether they are right or wrong. If wrong suggest me where is the mistake. Thanks

Q)Configure sudoers in the following way:

3.a) it only allows the user adam and drew to have the root privilege to run /sbin/telinit;

3.b whenever the users use sudo to run some commands, this activity will be logged to file /var/log/sudolog

After you finish the above configuration, log into the system as user adam at runlevel 3, and run the command telinit 5, what will happen?

A)

3.a)

supposing current username is suman

suman (ALL) = adam, /sbin/telinit
suman (ALL) = drew, /sbin/telinit

3.b)

Telinit command will change the run level, so, Telinit 5 will make user adam to enter into multi-user mode and boot up in X Windows.

Please check and reply me boss.

Shouldn't you be able to answer your questions by doing
what it suggests?

Please do your own homework.



Cheers,
Tink

Re: sudoers

Hi,

You told me to try. I worked on my own and got the answer. I just asked you to say whether it is right or wrong. If you don't suggest even now, Whats the use of joining a forum? Nobody gave me answer to my question till now except very few. Its very bad and saddening.

On the contrary - you should rejoice in having accomplished it yourself.

If the changes you made result in the desired outcome all is well, and
you don't need any confirmation?



Cheers,
Tink

Excuse me---you have not followed up on some of your previous homework threads--even after I mentioned it to you.

Have you read the forum rules on homework? (Hint: You CAN get help on homework, but typically only when you demonstrate that you have done some work on your own.)
