Sudo Access...

Mr.Right — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:24:09 GMT

How can I give a normal user sudo access to /tcb/files/auth/r

So that he can read the files under /tcb/files/auth/r.

Please advice Urgent.

The root entry is in that directory, just to advise...

I'd probably do this with an ACL instead of sudo:

setacl -m u:USERNAME:r-x /tcb/files/auth/r

This gives them read/execute on the directory. The files should already be world readable.

Use 'setacl -d' to delete ACLs.

See 'man setacl' for details on usage.
