Can we restrict a user to just issue a command or not allow it to > issue some command ? A normal user cannot do anything harmful to the system unless he is provided *root priveleges*. If the requirement is just to restart a service, all you need to do is to make crontab run that command as a user whenever required. Yes, you can restrict the user to issue only that command & he cannot do anything else with that. You can also restrict a user by not allowing him to use a particular command. -- Hari http://hari.accosted.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
