sudo / sudoers question

can you use sudo and or sudoers to give somebody enough rights to be able to manage a server without him getting full root privileges and still being able to check what he did?

any other possibility if this does not work?

 

I think so. It depends on how many programs you want grant access to your users...

 

command "mail"

please let met know which direcotry has "mail" command.
whether is "usr/sbin or /usr/bin wheere?

Please run

Code:

which mail

to find out.

 

To see what he did, you could take a look at the .bash_history file in his home directory. To view the last 50 commands he issues, use the "tail" command with the "-n 50" flag on that file. You might want to either redirect the output to a file (e.g., > nnn) so that you can grep for specific commands that you might be looking for without having to read all the output of the tail command, or if you want to read all the output, pipe it through more.

Just some random thoughts.

This can be done with the permissions of the /home directory.

With sudo you can manage which user can use which program, but it's not for management of directory permissions.
