Well I verified that putting the following line in /etc/sudoers works zabbix ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/lib/zabbix/bin/start_puppet However if I put it in /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet it does not. Exact same spacing and everything. The file was created with Puppet , and based on these errors I'm at a loss... I check the syntax, it fails # visudo -c -f /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet >>> /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet: syntax error near line 0 <<< parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet near line 0 I then open the file with visudo, make absoltely no changes, just ":q" out, still get error. # visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet >>> /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet: syntax error near line 0 <<< Then if I run the syntax check again it passes. However I still can't run the command without password prompt. # visudo -c -f /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet: parsed OK The files permissions are correct as specified by sudoers documentation on #includedir -r--r----- 1 root root 56 Jul 26 15:55 zabbix-puppet Does anyone else have the #includedir working in CentOS 5.6 or 6?
