Hi All,

As a security measure we have implemented sudo users for all the employees in our organization.

I am not sure

if we can allow a sudo user to use relative path to execute commands and navigate through the folders.

example:

Say there is an executable in the following location

sudo user: abc
/home/biz/bin/scirpt.sh

to execute the above scirpt, currently the sudo users are having to give the absolute path like below

abc@hostname# sudo -u biz sh /home/biz/scirpt.sh

If there is a way for the user to navigate through the folders like

abc@hostname# cd /home/biz/bin
abc@hostname# pwd
/home/biz/bin
abc@hostname# sh scirpt.sh

If yes, i would like to know this can be configured.


If needed I can provide more details / clarity.

Thanks every for in advance.

Thanks,
Sudhakar

I'm not totally clear what the question is.

To run a command, a user has three choices:
1. Put the path in his/her $PATH variable
2. Enter the full path
3. cd to the directory and use the local path (./)

I don't think giving a user sudo privileges changes this.

I also don't understand how creating a bunch of "sudo users" increases security.
