sudoers::allowed_command

Puppet module for creating sudoers user specifications

Install

Using the Puppet Module Tool:

$ puppet module install phinze/sudoers

As a git submodule:

$ git submodule add git@github.com:phinze/puppet-sudoers.git modules/sudoers

Usage

The following puppet declaration:

sudoers::allowed_command{ "acme":
  command          => "/usr/sbin/service",
  user             => "acme",
  require_password => false,
  comment          => "Allows access to the service command for the acme user"
}

Creates the file:

# /etc/sudoers.d/acme
acme ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service

As user 'acme' you can now run the service command without a password, eg:

$ sudo service rsyslog restart
