typical sudo programs run

Qwerty9119 · 08-20-2007, 01:57 PM

Hey All:

I'm interested to know if there is a 'typical sudo' program list which defines what programs the sudo user is allowed to run.

I guess the equivalent of a power user in windows....

Any suggestions?

AFAIK, sudo is used to run any command requiring root (super-user) privileges. I don't know if there is a way to restrict a sudo user to be able to do less than root is allowed. (But I am not 100% sure...)

In slackware there is a sudoers file, editable with the command 'visudo'. You might want to look in there.

The whole pt is that in the sudoers file you specify who can do what, generally allow a specific non-root user to do a task (or tasks) normally requiring root type powers.
