Fully agree that's a bad idea. My system uses sudoers. I.e. in |
| 7 |
/etc/sudoers.d/001 I have the lines... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
user2 d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/ux * |
| 10 |
waltdnes d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/ux * |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
...where /usr/local/bin/ux consists of... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
#!/bin/busybox ash |
| 15 |
pumount ${1} |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
...and in my home directory I have ~/bin/um which consists of... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
#! /bin/busybox ash |
| 20 |
sudo /usr/local/bin/ux ${1} |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
...So I can, as a regular user, execute at the commandline... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
um sdb1 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
...and /media/sdb1 is unmounted. No need to log on as root or have a |
| 27 |
root shell. |
