#1 Re: MIT Kerberos installation on Debian Posted by Anonymous (4.22.xx.xx) on Wed 5 Dec 2007 at 18:56 Thanks for the write-up. Its a very interesting topic, and I'm still working my way through the article. I have one small correction, however. I don't believe the following command will work: su -c 'echo "$USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers' I don't have a $USERNAME in my environment. I have $USER and $LOGNAME, but that could just be an issue with my install and it isn't the real problem. The environment variable will be expanded as the user root and therefore $USERNAME (or $USER) will expand to "root". My shell-foo is weak so I can't tell you if there is an equivalent one-liner to accomplish the same thing. My only suggestion would be to use something like: su -c visudo They'll have to manually insert the line after that, so its not as automatic, but it works.
