Sudo ask for password

Hello

I have a partition with Aix 5.3 and I install sudo

I put the commands that I want to use x user and I put the option that donkask for password.

But when I run with this user and I try to run that commands. ask me for a password.

I put this line for no ask for password with that user

htape LOCAL=NOPASSWD:RESPALDOS, !/usr/bin/su, !/usr/bin/passwd

$ sudo . /ommsetup.sh
Password:

Someone has this problem before.


Thanks for your tips

IBM aix?

AIX 5.3 is IBM's os for servers? not to familiar but Unix is Unix.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish with sudo?

Thanks for your reply Bernie420

This command its a command from a software to create backup called hypertape.

I install that software in my partition but I dont want the use root user, then I create I user for backups, install sudo and put that command in the sudoers file.

This is the line from the commands that I need for the user to backup

Cmnd_Alias RESPALDOS=/hypertape/om/bin/mmcli,/hypertape/om/bin/admedagent,/etc/ommsetup.sh


Thanks again
