Full Discussion: sudo is not working properly
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat sudo is not working properly Post 302540204 by getrue on Wednesday 20th of July 2011 03:08:57 AM
Old 07-20-2011
I want to give permission to sudo user for editing network files such as /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/init.d/network restart.

I have edited sudoers files for temp user like below but it didn't work. I can't edit hosts file, it is only read-only files.

Code:
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
%temp ALL=/etc/hosts        // vi /etc/hosts is giving error.

I am wondering how can I give full permission to temp user for above files.

usernetctl

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

NAME

       usernetctl - allow a user to manipulate a network interface if permitted

SYNOPSIS

       usernetctl interface-name up|down|report

DESCRIPTION

       usernetctl  checks to see if users are allowed to manipulate the network interface specified by interface-name, and then tries to bring the
       network interface up or down, if up or down was specified on the command line, or returns true or false status (respectively) if the report
       option was specified.

       usernetctl  is  not  really  meant to be called directly by users, though it currently works fine that way.  It is used as a wrapper by the
       ifup and ifdown scripts, so that users can do exactly the same thing as root:
       ifup interface-name
       ifdown interface-name
       and ifup and ifdown will call usernetctl automatically to allow the interface status change.

OPTIONS

       interface-name
	      The name of the network interface to check; for example, "ppp0".	For backwards compatibility, "ifcfg-ppp0" and "/etc/sysconfig/net-
	      work-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0" are also supported.

       up|down
	      Attempt to bring the interface up or down.

       report Report on whether users can bring the interface up or down.

NOTES

       Alternate device configurations may inherit the default configuration's permissions.
