Sudoers problems.

Hi!

I'm trying to come up with a way for me to automate some processes. I have to do this via ssh. What I'm trying to do is have "box A" connect to "box B" as "user A" and execute a command as "user B" (sudoer). It needs to be done this way because of auditing and security policy. This is on Solaris 8

Here's how I have it setup now:

Box A has connectivity to box B
User A has logins on both box A and box B
User A connects to box B from box A and sudo's to user B

Here's what I have in the sudoers file:

User_Alias USERA = userA
Cmnd_Alias SU_USERA = /usr/bin/su - userB
USERA ALL = NOPASSWD: SU_USERA


So, I connect to box A and type:
ssh -t boxB "sudo su - userB /opt/rah/rah/rah/command.sh" >> /some/log/dir

It either doesn't change the user or it asks for a password. The script keeps a log in a directory owned by userB and, if it doesn't change the user, it says "cannot create, permission denied". Otherwise it sits there asking for a password. I've tried putting the full command in sudoers and that doesn't work. Anyone have ideas? Btw, this will eventually be put under Autosys control.

Thanks!

NAME
glutDialsFunc - sets the dial & button box dials callback for the current window. SYNTAX
void glutDialsFunc(void (*func)(int dial, int value)); ARGUMENTS
func The new dials callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutDialsFunc sets the dial & button box dials callback for the current window. The dial & button box dials callback for a window is called when the window has dial & button box input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates dial & button box dial changes. The dial parameter will be the dial number (starting at one). The number of available dial & button box dials can be determined with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_DIALS). The value measures the absolute rotation in degrees. Dial values do not ``roll over'' with each com- plete rotation but continue to accumulate degrees (until the int dial value overflows). Registering a dial & button box dials callback when a dial & button box device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this case, no dial & button box dials callbacks will be generated. Passing NULL to glutDialsFunc disables the generation of dial & button box dials callbacks. When a new window is created, no dial & button box dials callback is initially registered. SEE ALSO
