in thread sudo setting to read auth log

The permission is 600. Running it as root works fine. I have in /etc/sudoers:

Host_Alias   THIS=thishost
User_Alias   BB=bbuser
Cmnd_Alias   BB_C=/usr/local/bbuser/ext/bb-audit.pl, /usr/bin/perl
BB  THIS=NOPASSWD:BB_C

No ACL or roles are involved.

The bash script just runs

sudo /usr/local/bbuser/ext/bb-audit.pl

I've even tried putting in "/usr/bin/perl" after the sudo. It still fails when trying to open the log file. Doing a sudo -l as the bbuser does show that bbuser can run as root those commands above. So, I don't believe it is an "error" in sudo.

    Then I don't know; my Solaris knowledge is too rusty. It doesn't look like a Perl problem though -- perhaps you're better off asking the question in a Solaris forum.
