Hi, If I put my computers ip address in sudoers a command runs successfully. If I put localhost I am prompted for a password. Check I can't run it normally: %/root/testsudo /root/testsudo: Permission denied. Entry in sudoers: chrisw 192.168.1.71=NOPASSWD:/root/testsudo %sudo /root/testsudo hello Entry in sudoers: chrisw localhost=NOPASSWD:/root/testsudo %sudo /root/testsudo Password: chrisw is not allowed to run sudo on eco. This incident will be reported. %ping localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.034 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.021 ms ^C /var/log/messages says 'user NOT authorized on host' The problem is this machine gets its ip address by dhcp so I shouldn't enter an ip in sudoers. Is there a neat way round this? Thanks Chris
