Hi All,
I am trying to use sudo to work around the following bug
I posted:
ifdown access denied with USERCTL=yes
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1828100
I wish they'd fix the bug, but it does not seems like it
is every going to get any attention.
So anyway, I fired up `sudovi` and added the following
at the end of /etc/sudo.conf`:
## Allows members of the users group to down eno2
%users ALL=/usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2
Now when I run it from the command line, I get:
$ /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2
Error: failed to load connection: access denied.
Questions:
1) I thought `sudovi` caused sudo to reread sudo.conf
on its exit. Am I mistaken? And if so, how do I
force a reread?
2) what is wrong with the syntax of the command I added
to sudo.conf?
Many thanks,
-T
Ah ha! This worked:
%users ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2
Then
$ sudo /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2
Connection 'eno2' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path:
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/2)
and `sudovi` did cause the re-read as I thought
