I have a 10.04 machine that su and sudo will not work on. I am also unable to login as a user other than root.
I am haven't been to figure out what might the problem.
Obviously there is some kind of problem validating users, but I can't find it.
When I try to run almost any command with sudo, it returns sudo: command: command not found. When I run sudo echo $path, it returns a blank line. Is there a command to set its path back to the default?

The ten machines will have /home/student01..10 and /home/linsig01..10 as users. We want /home/student01 to be able to explore and sudo so they can learn to administer their personal machines at home. We don't want them to be able to modify (sudo) /home/linsig01. I've seen the tutorial on Access Control Lists but I'd like other input so we get it right the first time.

As per subject, what's the best way to run a CRON job for something that "normal" users need to run as SUDO? There is a problem with the internal clock on my PC so at a regular time (every hour or day for example) I want to sync with my Network Time server. I use "sudo ntpdate time.bgr.local" as it is now and have to enter my user's password for it to work.I know root is disabled by default and would like to keep it that way if possible but if I have to enable it and then add it to root's cron list the so be it but would prefer not to.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI decided to consult you before making any changes, because the clients' PCs are spread all over the country and I do not have the physical access to their boxes.The idea is to take away the ability of using sudo for common users.I know that the syntax of this file may vary a bit in different distributions.Our OS is Ubuntu 10.10.I created the account 'support' for me and other technician stuff of our department. So, 'support' user must have all the power. And common users mustn't have access to 'sudo'. This is the requirement.As far as I remember, in Slackware the user must be a member of 'wheel' group to be able to use 'sudo' (but I may be wrong).
View 3 Replies View Relatedi want to create a sudo user, sudo user should not start or stop the service. as like a normal user i created a user called root2 and i edited the user with visudo command and added the below line to the user root2 and got the full privilages.

I've installed rubygems on ubuntu, but it has a known issue that the rubygems' bin/ directory is not in the PATH. I know about exporting the PATH variable, and adding it to .bashrc, but I'd like to configure it so that every user has it on his PATH, even if he tries to run it with sudo. Where should I export the PATH variable then?

A day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is my understanding that they do the same: they ask for my password (if I am allowed in /etc/sudoers), and give me a login shell as root.
Is there any difference between them?
sudo su -
sudo -i
Also, what's the difference between
sudo su
sudo -s
I think that they both ask for my password, and give me a shell with my old environment variables.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am new to fedora (been using debian based distro's for the longest time). With the new release I decided to give FC13 (The kde 64 bit spin) a try. I told it to wipe my entire hdd and encrypt the partitions. The partition manager made a few LVM partitions which I assume are encrypted.
The problem I am having is that if I attempt to use an application that would normally need root access to run, I am not prompted to enter my root password. Instead, I am required to logout and log back in as root. Is there a way to make it so that FC13 will prompt me to enter in my root password so I do not need to log in and out? Or is there something Different I should have done during the install process? Also, what is the terminal equivalent of "sudo" in fedora, or is it still sudo/KDEsudo
I also have not used SE Linux before. Do I need to manually enforce the permissions for my applications and generate my own profiles for it, or is that done automatically?
If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.
