  • sudo not working for a specific command

    Posted on

    Hi Guys,

    thanks always for your support. I have a user defined in /etc/sudoers to run specific commands without password

    sasowner ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chown, /bin/chgrp, /bin/chmod, /usr/bin/setfacl, /usr/bin/getfacl, /usr/bin/nfs4_getfacl, /usr/bin/nfs4_setfacl, /bin/find, /bin/rm , /bin/su , /usr/bin/rsync , /usr/bin/lsfup.sh , /usr/bin/lsfdown.sh , /usr/bin/du , /usr/sbin/iotop , /bin/ln , /bin/mv

    all the mentioned commands work without prompting for password except /bin/ln .

    example :

    sasowner : > sudo ln me me1 is prompting the user to enter a password

    sasowner : > sudo chmod 700 me : runs without asking for password

    Also to note, the same above runs in other nodes without any issue.

    Your help is truly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Arrey
