Hi,
I'm trying to setup sudo to allow users to chmod files only under a
certain directory
for example
%user ALL=/bin/chmod a+w /home/*
is no good because they can do the following
sudo chmod a+w /home/joe/tmp /etc/important_file
does anyone know I good way I can do this using sudo? also getting the
realpath of the argument would be great so I don't have people making
links to get around it also.
Also is there anyway I can use the username as a variable in the sudoers
file eg
%user ALL=/bin/chmod a+w /home/${USER}/*
Thanks
Joe
