Allow user to run a command as root - sudo

Monday, May 21st, 2007

This note i only an introduction for beginners. I had to allow a user to run a command as root without entering a password - i need if for disk smart monitoring from nagios using smartmontools (smartctl command requires root previleges). I don’t like to read all the sudo man page for now. So, i looked through 3 or 4 tutorials, which didn’t help me. Then i found this one - pretty clear and w/o much details.
