Hi all, I have two quick questions related to the 'sudo' command; putting a certain user Mr.X with ALL=(ALL)ALL permissions in the sudoers file, gives him COMPLETE root previleges? In other words, if I want that some people, for security reasons, stop using the root account/password for accessing the servers, by crating a sudo user with ALL previledges will decrease this risk? If this sudo account is compromised, will the cracker have COMPLETE root previleges? The other questions is how to set the time (in sudoers file) for the user to work with sudo, without having to write the password (let's say that I want to work for 20 minutes without having to write the password again) regards Tahis
