1 Hi group,
2
3 I connect to the web using
4
5 $sudo /usr/sbin/pon <isp>
6
7 on one machine(2.6.20-gentoo-r6). On another
8 machine(2.6.19-gentoo-r5), I get
9
10 :sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied.
11
12 But both files have identical permissions:
13
14 heathen@localhost ~ $ ls -l /etc/sudoers
15 -r--r----- 1 root root 1875 Feb 3 21:14 /etc/sudoers
16
17 picky@localhost ~ $ ls -l /etc/sudoers
18 -r--r----- 1 root root 1717 May 23 16:38 /etc/sudoers
19
20 I used visudo on both machines and wrote identical
21 lines in each:
22
23 heathen localhost = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pon hd
24 heathen localhost = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/poff hd
25
26 usernames of course are different. All other lines are
27 exact matches.
28
29 The non-compliant machine connects but only as root.
30
31 This is /etc/group from the machine that works. The
32 'wheel', 'dialout', 'users', 'root', 'bin', 'daemon',
33 'sys', 'adm'... lines are the same on both machines:
34
35
36 root:x:0:root
37 bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon
38 daemon:x:2:root,bin,daemon
39 sys:x:3:root,bin,adm
