Delegation of user
« on: April 29, 2010, 12:06:05 PM »
Hi All,
           Please advice how to delegate particular task  to the user ? Is it "sudo" or something else in RHEL5.

If you want to execute root user's command from normal user then you can use sudo command,
open /etc/sudoers and add an entry for user, to whom you want to give access to execute command.

Yes.. Using sudo you can do it on Redhat as well.   for any binary (specific command) you can set Sticky bit (SUID).  :)

you can also put a user inside an already internal group and set the appropriate uid:gid's and permissions (aka 775) to the services or apps you want to delegate. =)
