[sudo-users] HOWTO put many editors easily

[Ladner, Eric (Eric.Ladner)]

If the sudoers file supported full regular expressions, you could do
something like this:

Cmnd_Alias    RESOLV = /usr/bin/@(gedit|vim|vi|whatever)
/etc/resolv.conf

But it doesn't so you can't.

In situations like this, I always take the hard ass approach and say
"ok, you can either edit it with VI or GEDIT.  That's it."  If they
don't know VI, they can use GEDIT.  Or maybe use VI and NANO.

If I have to allow users to edit the file /etc/resolv.conf, I do this:
Cmnd_Alias      RESOLV = /usr/bin/gedit /etc/resolv.conf, /usr/bin/vim 
/etc/resolv.conf

Is there some way to create something like this:
Cmnd_Alias      RESOLV = /usr/bin/gedit OR /usr/bin/vim OR ... OR ... 
/etc/resolv.conf
to specifically put many editors, 3 or more?
