using sudo to install/remove packages
I am beginning to discover sudo for package management on my Testing
machine. Here is what I just set up using visudo:
#users that can install remove programs
User_Alias ADMINS = me
Cmnd_Alias ADMINCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt-get
ADMINS ALL=ADMINCOMMANDS
This will do the job of installing/removing packages with apt-get,
right? I guess it will also take care of any command that apt-get calls
and that needs root permissions.
thanks,
