Sudo error

Anthony khan — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 09:22:27 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am getting following error when I run this command sudo -u basel ftp trmsrv06

sudo: [ID 850335 local2.alert] akhan22 : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=pts/17 ; PWD=/home/akhan22 ; USER=basel ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/ftp trmsrv06

Here's my sudoers file looks like

akhan22 ALL = (basel) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/ftp

Do any one know what I am missing here. What I am trying to achive here is to ftp trmsrv06 using basel id.

Thanks
Anwar

It looks ok to me. Make sure you are using the correct (and updated the correct) sudoers file. Run sudo -l. This will show allowed commands for the current user. Make sure your ftp command is listed there. Post the results.

Anwar,

Did you use 'visudo' to edit your sudoers file?
