All,

I'm starting to lose some hair, running a command through sudo. Other
commands work just fine through sudo, just one of them doesn't work.

The command is this:

sudo cp /home/filter/pfm/relay_recipients /usr/local/etc/postfix.

It fails with the following error message:

Sorry, user filter is not allowed to execute '/bin/cp
/home/filter/pfm/relay_recipients /usr/local/etc/postfix' as root on
mail2.


The command that comes after that:

sudo /usr/local/sbin/postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients

works just fine.

I've included the directory listing below, and the sudoers file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kurt
