normal user removing a root file?
 

my normal user needs to remove a non-system critical file owned by root.

is this possible using sudo? I've tried doing 'rm /path/to/file' in the sudoers, but it wont write the file, I get a syntax error.

or is there another way of doing it?

Should be possible, what does the relevant line look like?


Cheers,
Tink

its this:

*edit* I was able to remove the file, thanks anyway Tinkster.

first I forgot to include the full path of the rm command in the sudoers file:
second, when executing the command on the CL, I forgot to prefix the command with 'sudo' !

Why isn't /var/run/dhcpc/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid used instead. You would still need to configure sudoers because of the sticky bit.

I dont have a /var/run/dhcpc directory, just an /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid.
