Sudo

[magd...@my-dejanews.com]

Sudo on my machine is set up and it's working the way we want to. My
question is how can I tell if somebody is logging in as sudo when I
type "who" command.
I'd like by typing "WHO" command recognize sudo users.

Is this possible?

Regards,
...Magda

someone doesn't log in as sudo (unless you happen to have an account called
"sudo") but that's a different story altogether.

when you (or whomever) built sudo, there would have been a setting you can
specify for logging sudo commands in the config.h file.

you can review this log to see who executed what - where - when.

btw, you will want to be cautious what you allow a given user to do using
sudo. for example, do not let a user run something with sudo from which you
can start a shell, because that shell will be a root shell (e.g. emacs).
consider what a user needs to do as root, and give him permissions to run
only that as root.
