Sudo with Samba

Pradeep_19 — Thu, 22 Apr 2004 11:24:59 GMT

I have samba installed on a HP-UX11i server.
I am using sudo too.
When I am trying to start or stop samba using sudo I get "Sorry, user xxx is not allowed to execute ../../../stopsmb as root".
Am I missing any configuration ?

thanks

Hi,

Are you using -u option with the sudo command.

logged in as some user.

want to execure /some_file as root. If your sudoers is configured correctly,

try,

sudo -u root /some_file

Hope this helps.

Regds
P.S. : I hope its "u". I'll have to check. Check sudo man pages if that doesn't help.

I believe you need to get your /etc/sudoers config straight.

# grep "username" /etc/sudoers

You need to explicitly define the commands the user is allowed to execute as root. if you donâ t have ALL=ALL next to the user then you probably need to add stopsmb to the list of commands the user is allowed to execute as root
