Hello, I wish to halt|shutdown| sleep my machine as an unprivilegied user on the command-line or via the menu of a light window-manager.
Here's my /etc/sudoers Defaults env_reset # User alias specification User_Alias STOP = gv # Cmnd alias specification Cmnd_Alias SLEEP = /usr/sbin/acpitool -S Cmnd_Alias HALT = /usr/sbin/halt Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /usr/sbin/reboot # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL # Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move # it further down) # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL STOP ALL= NOPASSWD: SLEEP, HALT, REBOOT The only thing I got to work is to insert gv ALL=(ALL) ALL But in all other configurations, gv ALL = /usr/sbin/acpitool -S gv ALL = SLEEP the response I get is: g...@fantasio:~$ sudo halt We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for gv: Sorry, user gv is not allowed to execute '/sbin/halt' as root on fantasio.champignac. What is the mistake ? (I use visudo and sudo 1.6.9p17-3 on Lenny) Thanks in advance, -- Gauthier Les îles, c'est pas des îles, au fond de l'eau, ça touche.
