greeting,
i need to setup sudo so that user1 can issue a command as user2 without entering a password. i tried the following entry in the sudoers file:
user1 ALL=(user2) NOPASSWD: /bin/kill
but when logged in as user1 and execute the command
sudo -u user2 -i /bin/kill -15 3948
i get prompted for the password. why does this not work or what do i need to do to make it work.
thanks,
rj
