So I'm working on finding a good way of delegating root privs to non-root users -- sudo is something of the defacto standard way, but I'm finding it's not great for what I need to do what I really need to do is give specific users read and/or write access to root owned 600 files -- and using group read and write is not an option. This can be done in sudo using something like Cmnd_Alias BLARGH=/usr/local/bin/vi /path/to/where/* but requires finding a version of vi (or some other editor) that doesn't allow reading in of other files or shell escapes (rumour has it that berkeley vi has a secure option that does this...I'm going to play with that later, but even if that works, deploying sudo *and* a different version of vi on a billion machines is not my idea of the best solution) Operator shell (osh) looks like it will do this, but the website http://www.engarde.com/~mcn/osh.html is down. Does anyone know where I can find current info on it? Also, does anyone have any other ideas that I might have overlooked? Thanks, V. _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
