Reference

This lens tries to keep as close as possible to `man sudoers` where possible.

For example, recursive definitions such as

Cmnd_Spec_List ::= Cmnd_Spec |
                   Cmnd_Spec ',' Cmnd_Spec_List

are replaced by

let cmnd_spec_list = cmnd_spec . ( sep_com . cmnd_spec )*

since Augeas cannot deal with recursive definitions.  The definitions from `man sudoers` are put as commentaries for reference throughout the file.  More information can be found in the manual.

Lens Usage

Sample usage of this lens in augtool

  • Set first Defaults to apply to the “LOCALNET” network alias
set /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults[1]/type "@LOCALNET"
  • List all user specifications applying explicitly to the “admin” Unix group
match /files/etc/sudoers/spec/user "%admin"
  • Remove the full 3rd user specification
rm /files/etc/sudoers/spec[3]

Configuration files

This lens applies to /etc/sudoers.  See filter.
