Debian :: Program Path For Openvpn And Allow Sudo For Guest

Nov 8, 2015

I'm looking to allow sudo for openvpn for a user.

I cannot find the openvpn program path though, i try a 'which openvpn' command and it returns nothing! :S

What is the path? or how to allow a normal user account to run openvpn with sudo?

Solution found:

Working directories for openvpn on debian 8 are:

/etc/openvpn
/usr/sbin/openvpn

To add sudo capability to a guest account, run this with your admin account:

Code: Select allsudo visudo

then add the line, with your guest username substituted:

Code: Select allusername    ALL=/etc/openvpn, /usr/sbin/openvpn

tada! guest account now runs only openvpn.

Debian :: Sudo No Tty Present And No Askpass Program Specified?

Apr 28, 2011

I am running an Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have installed Apache2, I put my perl script in /var/lib/cgi-bin. When I run this perl script from the terminal it works fine. When go to a web browser it doesn't. When I look at Apache's error log, I see this line :"sudo no tty present and no askpass program specified"I tried editing the sudoers file, with the user www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/path_to_my_script. But nothing changed. What am I doing wrong?

General :: Sudo Sometimes Changes PATH And Not Others?

Jan 22, 2011

If I try "shutdown" as a normal user on Debian it give the "command not found" error. OK it's not in my PATH. But if I "sudo shutdown" it works. Somehow sudo seems to change my PATH.

Do the same in Slackware however and sudo makes no difference, I get "command not found" each time.

General :: Passing PATH Through Sudo?

Jan 21, 2010

In short: how to make sudo not to flush PATH everytime?

I have some websites deployed on my server (Debian testing) written with Ruby on Rails. I use Mongrel+Nginx to host them, but there is one problem that comes when I need to restart Mongrel (e.g. after making some changes).

All sites are checked in VCS (git, but it is not important) and have owner and group set to my user, whereas Mongrel runs under the, huh, mongrel user that is severely restricted in it's rights. So Mongrel must be started under root (it can automatically change UID) or mongrel.

To manage mongrel I use mongrel_cluster gem because it allows starting or stopping any amount of Mongrel servers with just one command. But it needs the directory /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to be in PATH: this is not enough to start it with absolute path.

Modifying PATH in root .bashrc changed nothing, tweaking sudo's env_reset and env_keep didn't either.

So the question: how to add a directory to PATH or keep user's PATH in sudo?

Update: some examples

$ env | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | egrep -v '^$|^#'
Defaults env_keep = "PATH"

Ubuntu :: Sudo Not Picking Up Command In PATH?

Jan 20, 2010

On my Ubuntu server I'm running into an issue that I've never seen before even though I've been using Linux for many years. Basically sudo is not finding a command located in my path. Here is a transcript illustrating the problem.

Code:
prg ~: echo $PATH
/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
prg ~: sudo echo $PATH

General :: Sudo Path Variable Error

May 28, 2010

I'm having a strange issue with the PATH variable when running the command 'sudo su'. When executing this command the PATH variable changes. No problems there, but it changes to:

Code:

Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.

Ubuntu :: Program Path For Document Viewer?

Mar 19, 2010

I've been searching the site to find out what the program path is for Ubuntu programs, but can't find what I'm looking for. My search terms were :

- "program path" Ubuntu
- change "program path"
- "open with" "program path"

I came across a few articles but nothing really seemed to help me. Here's the problem; anytime I try to open a PDF file from my browser, I get either the "Open With..." option or the "Save to..." option.

If I select "Open With..." the default has been changed to Virus Scanner (ClamTK) which I recently installed. Admittedly, I was fooling around with virus scanners to see how they work in Ubuntu. But now my Document Viewer won't open up the PDF files. If I select "Save to..." and save the PDF file(s) to my desktop, and double-click the PDF file from my desktop, then Document Viewer will open up the file. What is the program path for me to change the default program back to Document Viewer???

Certain commands like:

require administrator privileges to run. A while ago i read a post(forgot where i read it) about being able to let a user run these commands in a script (that contains the desired command) created by the administrator/root without the user having to do a sudo and entering a password. Does anyone know how i can go about doing this?

Ubuntu :: Terminal Program That AutoComplete Path And File Names

Mar 23, 2010

Atleast I think it's a terminal program. I remember several years ago while using Redhat 7 when working in the terminal it would automatically complete the pathnames and filenames for you. If I was typing in the terminal "cd downloads" but I only typed "cd do" it would automatically complete my command with "cd documents" but if I continued to type "cd dow" it would know that I don't mean the documents folder and it would know the only other folder path with a dow in it is downloads. I'm not sure if my description is 100% accurate but I think you get the idea. Ubuntu doesn't seem to have this by default and I'm curious if I can get it. Is it a terminal program/client I need to use, or just an option? I don't know what it's called so I've had a hard time googling for it!

Server :: OpenVPN Range Address / When Change Static IP To Dynamic IP In Config File OpenVPN Didn't Work?

Feb 13, 2010

I want to configure a VPN over the Internet.I installed the 'openvpn' package, generated the key file, transfered it by a secure way to the client, and setted up the configuration file.

So, in that configuration file I input the IP addresses of the tunneled interfaces. Both IPs are static in the tunnel.

Then, I've heard somewhere that I can assign a dynamic configuration IP for the client. I do this registering a range.

Well, when I tried to change static IP to dynamic IP (changing '192.168.0.2' to '192.168.0.0/24') in the configuration file, the OpenVPN didn't work.

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing, and I really, don't believe that simply changing the IP will make it work, but I tried.

I hope I explained my problem as well.

My configuration file:

# OpenVPN Server Configuration File
dev tun 0
ifconfig 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
cd /etc/openvpn
secret key_file

In client I execute the 'openvpn' without the '--daemon' parameter.Then I want that my client uses a IP in a range (192.168.0.0/24, for example), instead of a static IP (192.168.0.2).I also thought to use a DHCP server, but I'm not sure that will work.
