In my testing with Cross-LFS, I have found that this works
echo "dummy1:x:1000:" >> /etc/group
echo "dummy:x:1000:1000:::/bin/bash" >> /etc/passwd
cd tests
su dummy -c "sh run-all"
sed -i '/dummy/d' /etc/passwd /etc/group
rm /tmp/*

Again, stupid tripe pouring off my fingers. I never thought that
if some unprivileged user (identified in the sudoers file as having
root access) leaves his terminal, for jus

No problem. :) I probably never would have known it either if I hadn't
gotten so many requests to automate my build process for the LiveCD.

Yes you can disable the password prompt in sudo. Less dangerous if you
configure sudo to only allow specific commands. In your sudoers file
you can specify specific commands and only allow certain users to
execute those specific commands without a password. You can also use
wildcards in those

User is given access via sudo to run all root commands but without

Not *that* dangerous. And can only be considered remotely
dangerous if you have a weak root password on your system.
