hi all,
i was trying to implement vnc on a remote server via ssh. suppose a normal non-root account is called "user1" and assume that via sudo, i want to allow that user to run any command as user root without specifying a password each time he logs in for running selected programs.
So, in that file, i added added: user1 ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
I know this does not sound good for security , so hence my post to you all ....
what are the security risks and what are the precautions to be taken ?
I want to restrict a user (or any number of users) to only run certain applications:
Any idea/input is welcome
thanks for reading-- _svaksh_
