Re: /etc/sudoers precedence question

Dan,

Are you running the "update" command using the full path? 

/usr/cs/2002/omacneil/sbin/update


Your sudo file allows running the above command only with no password.  
Also you should note that a sudo file like this allows for you to get a 
root shell via "sudo bash", which may or may not be what you want to allow.
