Hi all,
Fairly new to using sudo, and I'm trying to set up a user to run a job as a user other than root. I included all of the syntax that I believe should work, but I'm still unable to get the command to run. Here is a snippet of my sudoers file.
User_alias DB2=sds
Cmnd_Alias REPCHK=/home/db2sds/bin/repchk
DB2 ALL=(db2sds) NOPASSWD:repchk
I have also tried this with:
DB2 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:repchk
and also with:
DB2 ALL=(ALL)repchk
and also with:
DB2 ALL=(db2sds)repchk
But no matter what I include in the user specs I am continually told that user sds is not permitted to run this command.
I remember hearing along the way somewhere that there may be some issue with running commands as a user other than root, but I haven't been able to find anything substantial to back that up. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, or if this possibly does not work? Thanks in advance.
~Mia
