Strange Happenings with Sudo
Settings for /etc/sudoers
ROOT_CMDS=\
/usr/bin/sh,\
/usr/bin/truss,\
/usr/sbin/snoop,\
/usr/bin/chown * /opt/customer/*,\
/usr/bin/chmod * /opt/customer/*,\
/usr/bin/rm /opt/*
# User privilege specification
ADMIN ROOT_CMDS
so as root i touch a file called /etc/eatme, then login as myself and then try and delete that file.
[testuser at netra]$ cd /opt
[testuser at netra]$ ls -l eatme
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Jun 20 07:30 /opt/eatme
[testuser at netra]$ sudo rm eatme
Password:
Sorry, user testuser is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/rm eatme' as root on netra.
[testuser at netra]$ sudo rm /opt/eatme
[testuser at netra]$
So why is it that when i put in the sudo rm /opt everything is cool, but when i do cd /opt and then
sudo rm eatme it does not work.
