Power Sudo permission issue

folks;
How can i give a group a sudo permission to execute only some command "like start/stop Apache", so every user in that group can sudo to use this as himself, i mean when he tries to sudo, he will be asked for a password (and make it so he must use his own NT password not a generic one) then he can run the command like:

sudo /PATH_TO/Apachectl start/stop

Help on this please

Sud Configuration

Hi Katkota - you can use the following set up via sudo (just copy and paste into sudoers).

##
# User Alias Specification
##

User_Alias (group name) = (group list)

(group name) ALL = (ALL) (command list)

Cheers,

Kev

Thanks Kev;

From your answer, i'm assuming that every one in the specified group will have a sudo access for the specified command.

But How can i make sure that this sudo permission will force them to use their own NT login credential?

If you are setting this up on an AIX system then by default sudo will only accept the passwd of the UID stated in "sudoers".

So for instance:-

##
# User Alias Specification
##

User_Alias IBM = katkota, kevin

IBM ALL = (ALL) /usr/bin/su - mqm

whenever kevin runs #sudo su - mqm it will only accept kevins UID passwd and likewise whenever katkota runs #sudo su - mqm it will only accept katkotas UID passwd.

Cheers,

Kev

Should work exactly the same on both although i don't have a solaris box to test this on.

Cheers,
