Hi everyone, I haven't been able to solve my problem. I'm now trying to run it through the sudo command.

In my /etc/sudoers i add this line :
ssdl-dev ALL=NOPASSWD:/interface/master
But when I exit su mode and I type the following command to run that specific program as sudo:
sudo ./interface/master
it prompts me for the password

Could you please indicate me what I did wrong?

Best
Lorenzo
