Configure sudo

The sudoers file lets you configure sudo. See the sample file on www.gratisoft.us/sudo. To modify the sudoers file you must use the visudo command. You need to add users and permissions to the file:

• Add authenticate parameters for each user so that sudo does not prompt for a password:

  Defaults:user !authenticate

• The following excerpt from the sudoers file (sudo configuration file) gives the user unimgr permission to execute the /usr/bin/touch file as root or opsuser on server1:

  unimgr server1 =(opsuser) /usr/bin/touch, (root) /usr/bin/touch
