This means:
ALLOW nagios user from anywhere to run commands NAGIOS_CMNDS as user root
without a password.
For the records, even this won't work because nagois needs access to
/dev/xpt0 as well and once there sudo can't help.
sudo -u nagios /sbin/camcontrol inquiry da0
camcontrol: cam_lookup_pass: couldn't open /dev/xpt0
cam_lookup_pass: Permission denied
The above sudo command, runs as nagios user, not as root.
But... the command "/sbin/camcontrol inquiry da0" IS run as root through
the setup in sudoers above,
See above. To test if it would work, you'd have to login as nagios then run
sudo /sbin/camcontrol inquiry da0.
OK, I'm sure you're right, this was my first encounter with sudo. But,
nagios, running in parallel, reported identical results as the ones I
got from the command line. That is why I draw the conclusion that giving
nagios root access to NAGIOS_CMNDS was not enough and the reported error
(access to /dev/xpt0) was not part of any direct command.
Maybe this is wrong and I made a mistake but because this is *nix I'm
confident there are other less kludgy solutions to the problem.
