I have been trying and failing to set up the sudoers file so that I can run apt/dpkg/etc as another user without sudo (root) access. Here is a snippet: # Restrict the user "packager" to only installing packages on this machine packager home = NOPASSWD: (root) /usr/bin/apt, (root) /usr/bin/aptitude, (root) /usr/bin/dpkg # Allow users to install packages via "packager" granttrec home = (packager) /usr/bin/apt, (packager) /usr/bin/aptitude The user packager was created as a system user and belongs to nogroup, I tried adding thi user to the sudo group but no effect, the command I am trying to run is: sudo -u packager sudo aptitude install ... Any Ideas?
