Re: giving normal user a super user privilege

[Umarzuki Mochlis <umarzuki@xxxxxxxxx>]

my mistake, i had done sticky bit on /sbin/ifconfig yesterday

# chmod u+s /sbin/ifconfig

2010/2/5 Umarzuki Mochlis <umarzuki@xxxxxxxxx>

I had added user umarzuki to wheel group

# usermod -G wheel umarzuki

*Yes, I can use/setup sudo but I do this just for learning purpose

My /etc/pam.d/su as below

auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so

# Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel" group.

#auth           sufficient      pam_wheel.so trust use_uid

# Uncomment the following line to require a user to be in the "wheel" group.

auth            required        pam_wheel.so use_uid

auth            include         system-auth

account         sufficient      pam_succeed_if.so uid = 0 use_uid quiet

account         include         system-auth

password        include         system-auth

session         include         system-auth

session         optional        pam_xauth.so

when i su to user umarzuki and view its id output

$ id

uid=500(umarzuki) gid=500(umarzuki) groups=10(wheel),500(umarzuki)

and i tried run

$ yum update

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

You need to be root to perform this command.

but i managed to change the interface's IP with this command

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Is there a step that i missed?
