Description of problem: /etc/sudoers contains the line: # Cmnd_Alias SOFTWARE = /bin/rpm, /usr/bin/up2date, /usr/bin/yum However, in Fedora 19, yum is located in /bin Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.8.6p7-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a line in sudoers to allow a user to run commands in the SOFTWARE alias. 2. Log in as that user and try to run "sudo yum install ..." Actual results: Sorry, user <user> is not allowed to execute '/bin/yum -y install ...' as root on computer.example.com Expected results: The unprivileged user should be allowed to run yum as root using sudo. Additional info: It looks like yum is now located in /bin/yum.
Never mind. I thought that was causing my inability to run yum, but it was something else.
