Re: basic sudo/sodoers question

.. sounds like something to solve with Linux ownership of files, being part of groups, and permissions.  Perhaps start here? - https://www.linux.com/learn/understanding-linux-file-permissions

Hi.

I have two (2) users cat - dog

user cat has access to all files in /cat, and the ability to run the apps (*.php)

i want to allow user dog to be able to run as user cat, and therefore run the *.php in /cat

As far as I can tell, this is a sudo/sudoers issue, where I should be able to set up a user/group to run the apps with no passwd...

so... I jumped into visudo, made the change to the sudo/sudoer file (not sure what the file is actually called!).

the change I made
cat ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /cat/*.*

I then did a #su dog

 whoami -- dog

and as user dog...

  sudo -u cat /cat/aa.php

and got a passwd prompt for dog....

so what did I miss/screw up....

Thanks...
