I've just switched from cdparanoia to cdda2wav, to get track names/artists. As a regular user, I ran...
cdda2wav -vall dev=1,0,0 cddb=0 -paranoia -B I got a bunch of complaints about insufficient read and write privileges, but it seems to work OK. I ran the same command as root, and no error messages. So I figured I'd just stick the command into /etc/sudoers.d and run with root privileges under tightly controlled conditions. I ran visudo, and appended what would be the 34th line to /etc/sudoers.d/001 Here were the tentative 32nd/33rd/34th lines... waltdnes d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fusermount -u /home/waltdnes/tablet waltdnes d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/simple-mtpfs -o allow_other /home/waltdnes/tablet waltdnes d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/cdda2wav -vall dev=1,0,0 cddb=0 -paranoia -B When I attempted to exit visudo, I go a not-so-helpfull message... "/etc/sudoers.d/001.tmp" 34L, 2078C written >>> /etc/sudoers.d/001: syntax error near line 34 <<< What now? Like the message says, "What now?". It's currently a moot point because cdda2wav seems to work OK, notwithstanding the "insufficient permissions" messages. But if I'm doing something wrong with sudoers, I'd like to find out what it is now, rather than later when I really need it. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
