Hi all
i wrote a java program which executes the nmap command:
sudo nmap -sP -n 192.168.1.0/24 -oG
/home/hippie/projektarbeit/java/activeHosts.txt
In order to do that u use sudo, so a user has the right to execute nmap.
I wrote the coresponding entry in
/etc/sudoers
The output of nmap is written in an xml file. And here is the problem.
On my project PC the file will be
created and belongs to the user who startet the java program ( here is
is the user stema):
-rwxr--r-- 1 stema stema 212 May 15 10:34 activeHosts.txt
sudo-file:
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
stema ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nmap
On my laptop the file will be created as well, but it belongs to the
root.(i started the program as user hippie):
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342 May 16 15:53 activeHosts.txt
sudo-file:
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
hippie ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nmap
The problem is that i can't work (read, write in java) to a file who
belongs to the root.
I can't understand where the diffrence is. Is this now a sudo Problem?
Could anybody help
me?
Thanks
Angela
