line 8 # Host alias specification
line 9 Host_Alias TRANS = 10.10.10.3
...
But the problem is that I've the following error :
Warning: undeclared Host_Alias `TRANS' referenced near line 9
>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 8 <<<
I dont know the raison of that error; could someone help me please!
Thank U in advance

Can you resolve that ip address??

nslookup 10.10.10.3

Shalom Kogoe,

Just for grins, copy the sudoers file to a backup and take out line 8. Its complaining about syntax and thats probably before line 8.

If you are new to the tool, perhaps try a simpler configuration, which would involve just what users get to use what applications that normally require root privs.

Hi,
have a look at:
http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/man/sudoers.html

May I also suggest you start assigning points: 0 points for 18 reponses

Use cat -e /etc/sudoers to verify for non printable characters that may be creating problems with your configuration. Ensure that no extra or unfinished "," or "\" is in your file.

With cat -e the file should look like:

$
Host_Alias IAS = hostname_of_ias$
$

Ok I see the problem : mabye you could face it one day : it was a problem of space before keywords Host_Alias,User_Alias,Cmnd_Alias ... and so on; I've deleted the space and it work very well;
Thanks
