Weird sudo behaviour

geomonap · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2006

Hi gurus.
I implemented sudo and have the following in my sudo config file
***************
# User alias specification
User_Alias VENDOR = user1

# User privilege specification
VENDOR ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/, /sbin/, /usr/local/bin/, \
!/bin/su, !SHELLS, !/bin/passwd *root*

****************

To test the implementation, as root i created a file with the following priveleges

-rwx------ 1 root root 9 Feb 3 14:41 test.file1

As user1 I was able to delete this file, without using sudo. Any ideas on why user1 is able to delete this file without using sudo even though only root has priveleges on that file?

regards,

Rg

Check the permissions of the directory you put the file in that allowed the user1 to remove it from. That is probably where your issue is. (FYI has nothing to do with sudo)
