questions regarding sudoers file

[Sukant Naik]

Hi David, 

There seems to be a problem in the syntax which you are using.

Must be 

User_Alias  		OVADMIN = db, eb, fb

Instead of 

user_alias	OVADMIN = db, eb, fb

AND 
	OVADMINS	ALL = (ALL) DOIT

Must be

	OVADMIN 	ALL =  (ALL) ALL

Please get back if this works for you. ( Also ,anybody there correct me if I am
wrong ) 

Regards,

	We are having a problems getting sudo to work properly (at least not the
way
	we want it to). In the /etc/sudoers file there exist 

		user_alias	OVADMIN = db, eb, fb

		Cmnd_Alias	DOIT = /usr/lbin/, /usr/sbin/

		OVADMINS	ALL = (ALL) DOIT

	This does not work and I cannot understand why. Please help.
