Am 09. Sep, 2005 schwätzte Craig White so:

A quick glance makes me think the commands don't match up.

/sbin/modprobe -r sbp2

I think you need to specify the -r the Cmnd_Alias.

> sbp2_force_inquiry_hack=1, /sbin/rmmod sbp2

Is that setting an environmental variable? I've never tried to do that in
the middle of a Cmnd_Alias definition.

> Cmnd_Alias EJECT=/usr/bin/eject

/usr/bin/eject /dev/sda2

I think you need to specify /dev/sda2 for the Cmnd_Alias.

> craig   ALL= NOPASSWD : IPOD
> craig   ALL= NOPASSWD : EJECT

You can put that all on one $line.

# lufthans ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/apt-get update, /usr/bin/apt-get install *, \
# 	NOPASSWD: /bin/tar x --atime-preserve -pvf -

Here's a setup I used to use.
