Hi All,

I want to use sudo user with command of sudo su - username.
for this command want to make password less (like in user prompt$ type sudo su - root and it will login without password) so can any one help me here.

Code:

sudo visudo

Then adding the following at the end of /etc/sudoers by

Code:

%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/su

will enable for all in sudo group ( or whatever group you specify.)

I would restrict them to a single user I wouldn't leave them to run su - to any user unless you want to give away root.
You should do something like this:

Code:

%appgroup       ALL=(appuser)       NOPASSWD: ALL

they then can run

Code:

sudo -u appuser /some/command
