Hello,
It is Solaris-10. There is a file as /opt/vpp/dom1.2/pdd/today_23. It is always generated by root, so owned by root only.
This file has to be deleted as part of application restart always and that is done by app_user and SA is always involved to do rm on that file.
Is it possible to give rm access to app_user, only to that file, via sudoers ? So that, he can delete only that file, not any other path or file or folder.
Regards
I'm willing to bet that when you come back with why the file is written by root it is because the directory /opt/vpp/dom1.2/pdd is owned by root.
Consider this:
So because I own the parent directory I was able to deleted the first xyzzy file, but because root owned the directory XYZZY I was unable to delete the second xyzzy file.
So why does the file today_23 need to be created in the directory /opt/vpp/dom1.2/pdd? Can it be created elsewhere? Failing that, could the directory pdd be modified to give the user the required write permission to create and delete the file without root access?
