I'm well aware that sudo can be configured to not ask for passwords, but as I stated in a reply to another person suggesting that I use sudo, I'm not trying to grant access to any special commands. Rather, I'm trying to limit the commands users can run to a certain subset. For example, I might not want regular users to be able to run ftp or telnet. If I were to use sudo, I would have to remove execute access from all commands and grant them on a command by command basis, requiring each users to prefix _every_ command with 'sudo'. -Stephen Le -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
