Entries for sudoers configuration file

Hikito · 09-17-2004, 12:12 PM

I been trying to figure this out but I'm stuck, any help would be grately appreciated!

How can I create two entries for the sudoers configuration file:

a) One entry that allows users to service a printer, unjam it, and restart printer daemons on the machine print server?

b)One entry that allows users to kill jobs and reboot the machines in a student lab?

Thanks in advance

Depends on the print server, I guess ...

I'd be a bit cautios with the "kill jobs" though ... :) or are you talking
print-jobs here?

%users localhost=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/kill, /sbin/reboot

%users localhost=NOPASSWD: /path/to/any/print/server <any print servers paramaters>

what if I want to add only three users to service the printer, for example drew, matt, and addam?

Did you even LOOK at the file and the man-page?
