Hi all,
 
I'm trying to use sudo with variable into sudoers. Example: 
 
Cmnd_Alias = /bin/tar -zvxf /tmp/test.tar.gz --directory $PATHTEST/
 
And I'm using the command from user shell:
 
PATHTEST=/root
sudo /bin/tar -zvxf /tmp/test.tar.gz --directory $PATHTEST/
 
But, all the time I receive the message: User is not authorized to execute this command.
 
Do you have any idea ?
 
 
thanks.
 
DDG.
