Thanks for your reply Bernie420

This command its a command from a software to create backup called hypertape.

I install that software in my partition but I dont want the use root user, then I create I user for backups, install sudo and put that command in the sudoers file.

This is the line from the commands that I need for the user to backup

Cmnd_Alias RESPALDOS=/hypertape/om/bin/mmcli,/hypertape/om/bin/admedagent,/etc/ommsetup.sh


Thanks again

vipw

VIPW(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   VIPW(8)

NAME

       vipw - edit the password file

SYNOPSIS

       vipw

DESCRIPTION

       Vipw  edits  the  password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked.
       If the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later.	The vi editor will be used unless the  environment
       variable EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.

       Vipw  performs  a  number  of consistency checks on the password entries, and will not allow a password file with a ``mangled'' entry to be
       installed.  If vipw rejects the new password file, the user is prompted to re-enter the edit session.

       Once the information has been verified, vipw uses mkpasswd(8) to update the user database.  This is run in the  background,  and,  at  very
       large  sites  could  take  several minutes.  Until this update is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates and the new
       information will not be available to programs.
