How to grant root level access to non root user

zaeem · 03-06-2012, 06:50 AM

Dear evo2,

Thanks a lot for your assistance. I can't see sudosh in /bin directory. I think it yes to be present there to be used in usermod command. But I have installed above mentioned RPM.

Hi zaeem,

Try this,

#/etc/sudoers
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SHELLS = /bin/csh, /bin/sh, /usr/bin/ksh, /bin/ksh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/dash, /bin/bash, /bin/ksh93
Cmnd_Alias SU_CMD = /bin/su

#%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
%sudo ALL = (ALL) ALL, !SHELLS, !SU_CMD

I think it may help you.

Do you want to prevent that the user gets a root shell? He could install his own bash in his home directory and use it this way.

Hi Reuti,

You are absolutely right.

I think only solution to this problem is, give access for limited commands.

Thanks for your reply.
