Sudoers doesn't work with User_Alias as expected.
Issue
- There is an user
realuserand the alias for the same isUSER_ALIAS_NEW. - The relevant part of file
/etc/sudoersis as follows:
User_Alias USER_ALIAS_NEW=realuser
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
Cmnd_Alias USER_CMDS = cp /tmp/sc-USER_ALIAS_NEW/new.pem /etc/somelocation/;
USER_ALIAS_NEW ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: USER_CMDS
- The command
cpneeds to run as root by userrealuser. - The actual command it needs to run is
cp /tmp/sc-realuser/new.pem /etc/somelocation/
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, 6
