Hello list, I'm writing a small script that is invoked from an Apache web server (CGI, or PHP). The script needs to run several commands as another user, I opted for 'sudo'.
It is fairly easy for most commands, but I'm stuck on one: sudo -u gituser git fetch Under the covers this command connects to a remote SSH server, giving me this error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly The ssh connection is using passwordless ssh key login, so this can run non-interactively. Just changing the shell of the apache user to /bin/bash works, but I don't like giving that user (apache) a real shell. The gituser does have a valid shell of /bin/bash. The 'requiretty' option for sudo is already disabled (otherwise other commands don't work either). Any ideas on how to solve this? Is giving the apache user a valid shell the only way forward?
