/etc/sudoers for allowing oracle user to /var/log/messages

So I want the DBA to access /var/log/messages and so I logged in as root and then edited the sudoers file as follows

"oracle ALL= (root) /bin/view, /var/log/messages"

However when I login as oracle and try
"sudo more /var/log/messages" I get


Sorry, user oracle is not allowed to execute '/bin/more /var/log/messages' as root on <hostname>


What am I doing wrong?

I think I missed the /bin/more in the sudoers. That did the trick

"oracle ALL= (root) /bin/view, /var/log/messages, /bin/more"

/var/adm/messages vs /var/log/messages

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux. I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK. Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

NAME
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb - rebuild the scrollkeeper document catalog database SYNOPSIS
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb [-p path ] [-v] [-q] DESCRIPTION
This rebuilds the ScrollKeeper database from the original OMF metadata files and documents. Under normal situations, this tool is not nec- essary. It is useful however if the database becomes corrupt, which could be caused by interruption of ScrollKeeper during an update of the database. Errors and warnings are logged to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log. OPTIONS
-p path Use path as the ScrollKeeper database directory. -v Verbose. Show warnings and error messages in addition to logging them to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log. -q Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT. Note that most output to the log file will be unchanged. FILES
