Quoting Nachiketa Sadhu ??????? ???? sadhu@iitb.ac.in:

Hi,

I have put in the /etc/sudoers file the following line:

sadhu ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/yumex

sadhu ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/yumex

that works?

Unfortunately no. It does not make any difference.

I was expecting that when logged in as user "sadhu" I will be rum yumex without authentication, but it still asks for root authentication when I try to run yumex.

Can you please refer me to the correct sudoers syntax or to a how-to.

manpage of sudoers file.

I have gone through these, and some how-tos from Google search. I will go through these again to see if I can gain any further information.

Thanks and regards.
