how to set up sudoers to for mass of scripts

Don Beethe — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:48:17 GMT

How do I setup sudo to allow a user to run any script in a directory?
From what I have been able to find via google, should be able to use:
/usr/local/scripts/ and allow user to run any script in that directory, but when I try this, I get:
Sorry, user db55621 is not allowed to execute /usr/local/scripts/testThis as lzMntIt1 on eagle1.rmtc.fedex.com

What do I have wrong here?

Using the directory in the sudoers file is the correct way to do that, but you probably need to post a non-working entry (sanitized as appropriate) for people to be able to give you much help.

db55621 ALL = (lzMntIt1) /opt/fedex/lzMntIt1/testing/scripts/

In /opt/fedex/lzWebIt1/testing/scripts/, there are scripts like startLssi, which runs some commands to start the app... If I try to do sudo -u lzMntIt1 /opt/fedex/lzMntIt1/testing/scripts/startLssi, I get the not allowed to excute.

Hello,

This should work fine. You can use wildcard
characters in sudoers file:

db55621 ALL = (lzMntIt1) /opt/fedex/lzMntIt1/testing/scripts/*

I tested similar command in Fedora 8 five minutes ago :)

That's what I thought. It even talks about doing exactly this in the sudoers manpage, but it refuses to work. Seems to be only the ixSudo version...
