sudoers and guarddog problems

i set up sudoers in the following way
--------------------------------
Host_Alias MIHOST=mybox

User_Alias USERS=user

Cmnd_Alias MOUNT=/usr/bin/mount

Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN=/usr/sbin/shutdown

Cmnd_Alias REBOOT=/usr/sbin/reboot

Cmnd_Alias HALT=/usr/sbin/halt

MIHOST USERS = NOPASSWD : MOUNT , SHUTDOWN , REBOOT , HALT

USERS MIHOST = NOPASSWD : MOUNT , SHUTDOWN , REBOOT , HALT

-------------------------------------

as user when i run sudo mount i receive the following message:
*/
Sorry, user user is not allowed to execute '/bin/mount' as root on mybox.
/*

also i installed guarddog and i put a symlink pointing to /etc/rc.firewall
in

/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

but it seems that doesnot work

---------------

thanks

/bin/mount is different from /usr/bin/mount

Which distro?

slackware 12 and i will try with that path of mount

I have the same config and it works. Make sure that /etc/rc.firewall is executable.

Code:

pu@slackw:/etc$ v rc.firewall

-rwx------ 1 root root 54875 2007-07-22 14:02 rc.firewall*

pu@slackw:/etc$ v rc.d/rc.firewall

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2007-05-01 14:46 rc.d/rc.firewall -> ../rc.firewall*
