Hi All,

I (a normal user, not root) wrote a shell script but want to grant another user (guest) permission to run it.

As a su, I've edited the /etc/sudoers file and added at its bottom:
guest ALL= (xxx) NOPASSWD: /home/xxx/script_name

where xxx is my login name.

I edited sudoers with visudo, where the environment variable EDITOR=pico.

Doing:
/etc/init.d/sudo restart
sudo -l

shows:
User root may run the following commands on this host:
(ALL) ALL

so nothing is updated. I also confirmed this: I login as guest and try to run the script as
sudo -u xxx ./script_name
but the system requests a password.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike.

Two things:
It looks like you are running "sudo -l" as root and you need to run it as guest and try using the full path to the script in the sudo -u command
