help with sudoers file

I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem...
I need to make changes to the sudo configuration file to allow a user to run sudo for the following commands as root; mount, ls, ifconfig, and route.

I've tried working with the file, but I cant seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatlly appreciated, thanks.

Someone here posted a link earlier which describes using the sudoers file quite well. Have you had a look at http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/l...n/addusers.htm?

Quote:

Suppose the user is "aarulan". Type 'visudo' to write to the file. Below is what you need in the sudoers file to do what you want.

Code:

# Cmnd alias specification

Cmnd_Alias ROOTPWR=/bin/mount,/bin/ls,/sbin/ifconifg,/sbin/route



# User privilege specification

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

aarulan ALL= NOPASSWD: ROOTPWR

Save it and test it.

-twantrd

thanks I think that helped a bit, still a little unsure though, would it look something like this?

aarulan ALL=(root) ls, mount, ifconfig, route

Sorry i didnt see that other response, but thank you.
I guess i was a little off with my attempt, but I will give it a try.
Thank you again for the help.
