Run script to add remove email users.

[OrganizedChaos]

Hi All,

I am running Scalix email server and I am looking for a way to build a web interface to add and remove users (this would be much like the way one would add and remove linux users).

I have set the apache user to have rights to run the program in the /etc/sudoers file.

While apache came with /sbin/nologin in the /etc/passwd file, I changed that to test to /bin/bash and I was able to add / remove users with the command "sudo omaddu"
omaddu = add users in scalix system

My web page script looks like this

<?
$output=`/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/html/test`;[/URL]
echo "<pre>$output</pre>"
?>

That calls this file

test

#!/bin/bash
sudo omaddu -n test/mail -p pass

If I run the test script from the apache temp login it runs fine.

I have looked at the /var/log/http/error.log and it looks like the file is requesting a password as the last line just says Password:

I have no password for these command set in the sudoers file and like I mentioned, it works from bash?

Any ideas?

Did you try adding a NOPASSWD directive in your sudoers file?

yes, I mentioned that horribly at the end of my description.

My sudoers enrty looks like this.

Cmnd_Alias OMADDU = /opt/scalix/bin/omaddu
%group  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: OMADDU

the group has the apache user in it, and it does not ask for a password when I su to apache and run it,
