Many thanks for the reply. I made the correction and made it specific to a user:

Code:
user   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/find, /bin/cpio, /bin/gzip

and noticed that now when I perform a:

Code:
ssh -o "PasswordAuthentication no" -o "HostbasedAuthentication yes" -l user 10.7.0.180 "find / -depth|cpio -oacv|gzip" > /path/to/dir/file.cpio.gz

I am getting from cpio:

Code:
cpio: /etc/ConsoleKit/seats.d/00-primary.seat: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
/etc/ConsoleKit/seats.d/00-primary.seat
/etc/ConsoleKit/seats.d
/etc/ConsoleKit
cpio: /etc/blkid.conf: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
/etc/blkid.conf
cpio: /etc/cron.d/anacron: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
/etc/cron.d/anacron
cpio: /etc/cron.d/.placeholder: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
/etc/cron.d/.placeholder
/etc/cron.d
cpio: /etc/idmapd.conf: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted

This doesnt happen on my other server. Any ideas ??

You haven't actually run any of those commands with sudo, therefore, none of them actually get run with sudo...

Here is my testing scenario.

/etc/sudoers

Code:
user   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/find, /bin/cpio, /bin/gzip

I know hostbased authentication is working:

Code:
ssh -t -t -o  "PasswordAuthentication no" -o "HostbasedAuthentication yes" -l user 10.7.0.180

Linux  2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

user@mymachine:~$

When testing the command with sudo, it is still prompting me for a password.

Code:
ssh -t -o  "PasswordAuthentication no" -o "HostbasedAuthentication yes" -l user 10.7.0.180 "sudo find / -depth"
[sudo] password for user:

??

---------- Post updated at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:41 AM ----------

I even changed

/etc/sudoers

Code:
user  ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

and it still prompts for a password:

Code:
user@mymachine:~$ ssh -t -o "PasswordAuthentication no" -o "HostbasedAuthentication yes" -l user 10.7.0.180 "sudo find / -depth"
[sudo] password for user:

but when just using:

Code:
ssh -t -t -o  "PasswordAuthentication no" -o "HostbasedAuthentication yes" -l user 10.7.0.180

How did you edit the sudoers file?
# 12  
Old 02-17-2012
I logged in as root, chmod /etc/sudoers from 440 to 600. Added my entry and then changed it back to 440 and rebooted the machine. This is an Ubuntu 10.04 build.

The proper way to edit sudoers is with the 'visudo' command. Hand-editing it is not supposed to work.

I switched over and used visudo and it didnt make a difference.
