Try moving the line:
build ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm to the absolute *end* of /etc/sudoers. As for the "random", that's because sudo doesn't think you have permission to run LTIB's rpm as root and asks you - and as you discovered, sudo gives you a window where it won't ask for the password again (its like a few minutes)... > > > # > # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. > # > # Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of > # directly modifying this file. > # > # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file. > # > Defaults env_reset > > # Host alias specification > > # User alias specification > > # Cmnd alias specification > > # User privilege specification > root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL > build ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm > > # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges > %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL > > # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command > %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL > > #includedir /etc/sudoers.d > > > > From: Peter Barada [mailto:peter.bar...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 10:27 AM > To: Douglas Peterson > Cc: ltib@nongnu.org > Subject: Re: [Ltib] Fwd: ltib installation problem > > On 03/06/2012 11:55 AM, Douglas Peterson wrote: > This has always bugged me, but I've never bothered to ask: If the purpose of > adding this line is to execute rpm commands as root without a password, why > do I have to enter a password (almost) every time I run ./ltib? > You shouldn't have to. > > 1) What is it asking you sudo to do? > 2) Which version if Linux are you running? > 3) What does you sudoers file look like(i.e. what did you add)?
