Full Discussion: Sudo to user other than root but do not allow sudo to root
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Sudo to user other than root but do not allow sudo to root Post 302933966 by sea on Tuesday 3rd of February 2015 12:40:28 PM

Hi

The issue is, they are not allowed to call su which you do to execute oracle.
As that is not allowed, it will fail.

Therefor, just try
Code:
sudo oracle

If that still wont work, and assuming DBA is a group where only users who are allowed to execute ORACLE belong to.
Try this change which should bring the desired change:
Code:
DBA ALL=(oracle) NOPASSWD: ALL

NOPASSWD: ALL means that there will be no password required to start anything from 'ALL', which is oracle.

Generaly saying, as i was once told, using sudo su - for 'daily' use is a bad habit.

Greetings, hope this helps
