This appears to be a stickier solution than at first glance. The trick is writing a sudoers file that allows the use of /bin/cp for a user's own home directory, but nothing more. AFAIK, this is not possible. Even worse, permissions must then be changed on the user's home directory to correctly match his/her own. Try writing another sudoers line for that... -- Stephen Touset <stephen@touset.org>
