Hi All, I'm experiencing a problem with sudo. sudo selectively execute file in a directory, * wildcard on dir set with "(ALL) NOPASSWD:". I created a script called "script1.sh" in a directory. When I execute this script with sudo, it ask me for password which not suppose to happen. I break out with ctrl+c. I then copy script1.sh to a new file in the same directory as "script2.sh". Now I execute "script1.sh" again with sudo, now it will execute. There is no change on script1.sh, All I done is created a new file in the directory. But now sudo do not ask me password any more. At this point I can execute both scripts with sudo with no password. Which is normal. Now I delete "script2.sh". Now the directory has only 1 file again "script1.sh". I execute script1.sh now it will ask me for password again. All executable file should be executable regardless, I don't know why this is happening. Number of files in directory affects sudo?
