I want to grant elevated privs to a user that will be running a script as a background task. It will be launched from an ssh session via an embedded command in its key that just allows that account to run that script.
I'm reading up on sudo and notice that -
Means that 'user' can execute from ALL terminals, acting as ALL (any) users, and run ALL (any) command.
I don't want anyone to be able to login as this user, (taken care of by the embedded cmd in the key so no terminal required) and I don't want this user to be able to su to anyone else either. I just want it to be able to execute any command.
I'm having trouble finding an example of a sudo line that meets this requirement.

Hi,
Is it possible to stop users from copying a login shell, say bash, to another name and then executing it via sudo to gain root priviliges?
Normal users have read access to login shells, so they can copy them without any limitations. How can I stop this?
