Hi Benjamin!
Thus spoke Benjamin Walkenhorst:
> Or might sudo not be what I am looking for?
Well, sudo is great for a job like this.
For the case you are the only user who wants to run the /sbin/lilo
command i'd suggest you append the following line to your /etc/sudoers
file (using the visudo command as root):
$USERNAME $HOSTNAME = (root) /sbin/lilo
Please substitute the user and hostname variables to the appropriate
values of your local configuration.
In the case you want to allow multiple users use one command you have to
define an user-alias, a command alias and, if the command is used on
multiple hosts, a host alias like this:
User_Alias LILO_USERS = user1, user2, ... , usern
Cmnd_Alias LILO_CMND = /sbin/lilo
Host_Alias LILO_HOSTS = hosts1, host2, ..., hostn
LILO_USERS LILO_HOSTS = (root) LILO_CMND
Note that the /etc/sudoers file is case-sensitive!
regards,
thomas
