Sudo Config

[Miguel Carabano_1]

Hi team,

How do I allow a normal user to cancel any print job with sudo ??

Thanks

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

You give them sudo powers of the lp commands for example lpsched

I'm assuming a working knowledge of sudo.

To cancel a print job you need access to the 'cancel' command located in /usr/bin.

Hi:

You also have the ability to define a print queue's job's as "cancelable" by any user. See the manpages for 'lpadmin(1M)'.

Hi,

Fail!!! but...

/etc/sudoers

# User alias specification
User_Alias USERS=user1,user2

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias PRINTING=/usr/bin/cancel

# Defaults specification
Defaults syslog=auth

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
user1 ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/cancel
user2 ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/cancel

help! please!

You need to connect the aliases. At this point sudo doesn't know user1 or user2 it knows the alias USER. The last line should read:

USERS ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/cancel

I would never specify a command be run without the user entering a password.

That's just me.

If this posted multiple times I'm sorry. I just kept remembering other stuff and tried to stop it mid submission.
