Hey guys,
I need to give the 'nobody' user (which is what our apache runs as) no password access to a file, via sudo. This is what I've tried:
nobody ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site/ftp_check.php
But if I become the nobody user and try to access the file, it tries to prompt me for a password:
-bash-3.2$ php /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site/ftp_check.php [sudo] password for nobody:
Can someone please point out for me where I'm going wrong? Cuz I don't see it!!
This whole thing sounds scary... Is there really no other (less scary) way to achieve what you want to achieve?
