Linux Fundamentals Users and Groups Lab

Lab Challenges
#1

I’ve spent almost 3 hours trying to find the problem, but to no avail.

This is Step 7 of the User and Group Management Lab.

I’m open to an idea to try, but I tried A LOT!

I just need to assign the command alias LIST_AND_ID to john_doe.

I got through the first 6 steps ok.

. . .

Cmnd alias specification

Cmnd_Alias LIST_AND_ID = /bin/ls, /bin/whoami

User privilege specification

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Members of the admin group may gain root privileges

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

Allow members of group sudo to execute any command

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

See sudoers(5) for more information on “@include” directives:

@includedir /etc/sudoers.d
iacadmin ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
john_doe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: LIST_AND_ID

Naturally, the first thing I try after posting this works!

I had to delete “NOPASSWD:” which I don’t know why I had that in there anyway!
