I am in search for info on a regex type glob too and I know this is many
months late, but have used a solution for this problem. I will share in
hopes someone gets helped.
I offer this example using the /bin/cat command. It is a bit robust, but
provides /bin/cat with a fast glob anchored at /path/to/where_ever. I used
the logfile owner as oracle, but if obviously if the logfile owner is not
specified and used the /bin/cat will work when defaulted to root. This has
been tested and obfuscated to protect the guilty, but mileage may vary.
User_Alias ALLOW_VIEW = usera, userb, %viewgroup
User_Alias LOG_OWNER = oracle
Cmd_Alias CAT_PARENT = /bin/cat *../*
Cmd_Alias VIEW_CMDS = /bin/cat /path/to/where_ever/*/*.log, !CAT_PARENT
ALLOW_VIEW ALL=(LOG_OWNER) NOPASSWD: VIEW_CMDS
I hope this helps someone.
