[SOLVED] Adding Group with Spaces to Sudoers?

#1 Post by Humbletech99 »

Hi all,
I'm trying to add a group with a space in the name to the sudoers file unsuccessfully (I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to do this). What I want to know is if there is a way that I can do this anyway and make it work normally. The reason is that I'm trying to add the "domain admins" group from the NT domain authentication to have all sudo rights on this machine.

I've tried using single and double quotes, all of the following lines in turn:

Code: Select all

%domain admins ALL=(ALL) ALL
%"domain admins" ALL=(ALL) ALL
"%domain admins" ALL=(ALL) ALL
%'domain admins' ALL=(ALL) ALL
'%domain admins' ALL=(ALL) ALL
None of these seem to be valid syntax. Can anybody recommend how I should do this?

This would be a good question for the sudo-users mailing list.

I'm not fond of mailing lists cos they flood your mailbox.

never mind, just applied standard unix knowledge and escaped the space with a slash... works a treat.
