Hi:

Can you tell me why user valdemir cannot run "w" command using sudo ?


# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
valdemir        ALL=/usr/bin/w
# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL) ALL
"/usr/local/etc/sudoers.tmp" 31 lines, 738 characters

Sorry, user valdemir is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/w' as valdemir on

I´m using sudo 1.6.9 pre-compiled version from sunfreeware.

Thanks.
