Operating Systems HP-UX Sudo entry required to set permission similar to ROOT without using password (PASSWD) change optio Post 302887665 by rbatte1 on Monday 10th of February 2014 06:44:33 AM

Please can you post your /etc/sudoers so we can consider where the problem may be. There is unlikely to be anything sensitive in it, but you may prefer to change the user names from your format to just User1, User2, etc.



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

passwd.nntp

PASSWD.NNTP(5)							File Formats Manual						    PASSWD.NNTP(5)

NAME

       passwd.nntp - passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers

DESCRIPTION

       The file /etc/news/passwd.nntp contains host-name-password triplets for use when authenticating client programs to NNTP servers.  This file
       is normally interpreted by the NNTPsendpassword routine in libinn(3).  Blank lines and lines beginning  with  a	number	sign  (``#'')  are
       ignored.  All other lines should consist of three or four fields separated by colons:
	      host:name:password
	      host:name:password:style

       The  first  field  is the name of a host, and is matched in a case-insensitive manner.  The second field is a user name, and the third is a
       password.  The optional fourth field specifies the type of authentication to use.  The  default	is  ``authinfo''  which  means	that  NNTP
       ``authinfo''  commands are used to authenticate to the remote host.  If either the username or password are empty, then the related command
       will not be sent.  (The ``authinfo'' command is a common extension to RFC 977.)

       For example:
	      ##  UUNET needs a password, MIT doesn't.
	      mit.edu:bbn::authinfo
	      uunet.uu.net:bbn:yoyoma:authinfo

       This file should not be world-readable.
