problem in using Cmnd_Alias future of sudoers file

Hi everyone
i trying to use Cmnd_Alias future of sudoers but i got this error for some of the commands :

Code:

Sorry, user sudotest is not allowed to execute '/sbin/blkid' as root on lp.

some of the commands work like useradd userdell but some of them like passwd not working and gives error . i cant understand why some commands should work and some no ?

here is what i did :
i added this 3 line to sudoers file by visudo and added sudotest user as a member of stest group but i got the bottom error .

Code:

Cmnd_Alias ADMIN_CMDS = /usr/sbin/passwd, /usr/sbin/useradd, /usr/sbin/userdel, /usr/sbin/usermod, /usr/sbin/visudo

Cmnd_Alias STORAGE = /sbin/fdisk, /sbin/blkid

%stest ALL = ADMIN_CMDS, STORAGE

Hi,

are you sure you specified the correct path? On my machines passwd resides at /usr/bin/passwd, not /usr/sbin/passwd.

Also, are you sure your user is in the stest group?

HTH,
