HOWTO enable SUDO

[hkoster1]

Yet another way of configuring sudo (with thanks to our lamented long lost Telemachus):

With root privileges, edit a user file like /etc/sudoers.d/mysudo with content

Code: Select all

Cmnd_Alias NET = /sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/ifup, /sbin/ifdown, \
                 /sbin/ip, /sbin/route
Cmnd_Alias APT = /usr/bin/aptitude, /usr/bin/apt-get, \
                 /usr/bin/dpkg, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure
<username>      ALL = NOPASSWD: NET, APT

then change the file privileges with

Code: Select all

# chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/mysudo

Then you're all set.

Have fun!
