viewsudo - execute a command as another (virtual) user
SYNOPSIS
viewsudo [-g groupname|#gid] [-u username|#uid] command
DESCRIPTION
viewsudo allows a user to execute a command as the superuser or
another user in View-OS.
OPTIONS
viewsudo accepts the following command line options:
-g group
Normally, viewsudo sets the primary group to root. The -g option causes sudo to run the specified command with the primary group set
to group. To specify a gid instead of a group name, use #gid. When running commands as a gid, many shells require that the '#' be
escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]). If no -u option is specified, the command will be run as the invoking user (not root). In
either case, the primary group will be set to group.
-u user
The -u option causes viewsudo to run the specified command as a user other than root. To specify a uid instead of a user name, use
#uid. When running commands as a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful execution of a program, the exit status from viewsudo will simply be the exit status of the program that was executed.

um_add_service - add a service module to umview
SYNOPSIS
um_add_service [-p ] service_module [ , module_options ]
DESCRIPTION
This command adds a service module to umview. Modules will be loaded as shared libraries thus all the rules to load libraries apply. Mod-
ules must be loaded from a directory within the ld.so search path or should be specified by their pathnames. If necessary configure the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable appropriately.
module_options are module specific configuration options, thus the reader should refer to each service module manual for a complete
description.
OPTIONS -p the module becomes permanent when set.

Hi there,
One can easily retrieve the uid from a username :
id -u $username
But how can we easily retrieve the gid from a group name?
I mean is there a command without using sed?
sed -nr "s/^$groupname:x:(+):.*/\1/p" /etc/group
Thanks for your help

Hello!
Do anyone have idea how to block switching to root if user have full sudo?
One way is in sudoers file block use of "su", but still it`s possible with sudo -i or sudo -s , sudo bash etc.
Other way is create alias on sudoers and permit only specific commands for user.

I typed Example 2-3 from Cooper`s Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide into my ~/bin, and it will only run if I include ./ before the filename. My other scripts in the same directory do not behave this way. $PATH includes ~/bin. I copied the file into /usr/local/bin, and it runs without ./ . (29 Replies)
