[sudo-users] Quotation marks in command option.

[Singh, Radesh]

Could you try a wildcard with SMcli or with the -c flag?

(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/IBM_DS/client/SMcli*

or

(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/IBM_DS/client/SMcli -n <SAN name> -c *

I don't know if either will be appropriate for your environment.

Subject: [sudo-users] Quotation marks in command option.

Hello.

I'm using sudo ver. 1.7.2p1 on CentOS 5.5. I have to permit a command that 
uses quotation marks, as in

<user> ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/IBM_DS/client/SMcli -n <SAN name> -c "show 
storagesubsystem profile;"

My problem is that sudo doesn't accept the quotation marks in the ``-c'' 
option, it keeps asking the user for the password, and after entering it 
gives an error that says ``Maybe you lack sudo permissions in the sudoers 
file.''

I also checked

$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for icinga on this host:
    requiretty, env_reset, env_keep="COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE 
INPUTRC KDEDIR LS_COLORS
    MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE 
LC_IDENTIFICATION
    LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER 
LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL
    LANGUAGE LINGUAS _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"

User <user> may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) /sbin/shutdown -h now, /sbin/halt, (root) /bin/cat 
/proc/cpuinfo
    (root) NOPASSWD: /opt/IBM_DS/client/SMcli -n <SAN name> -c \"show 
storagesubsystem profile;\"

I've searched the sudo man page, sudo mailing list, Google and pages in 
Spanish but can't find an answer. Any tip, advice will be higly 
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
