Sudoers File Help

Harlin · 03-15-2006, 08:09 AM

I promise to read the Sudoers manual on the Sudo page, but first I need to give a user sudo rights to have the ability to read certain files but not be able to reboot the server or restart services. How would I set up a sudoers file to allow this?

Thanks

Look at the bottom of this page: http://osl.birzeit.edu:8080/wiki2/index.php/Sudo

Looks like you can easily confine someone to a single directory by:

username ALL= /bin/kill,/sbin/linuxconf, /usr/sbin/jim/

Where /bin/kill and /sbin/linuxconf are specific commands username can run and /usr/sbin/jim/ is the only directory he can run them from (at least that's my understanding, I haven't actually tried this...)
