remote command permissions?

[radamand]

Is there any way to get a remote command to execute as a different user WITHOUT using sudo?

I have tried running the agentd as root but the remote command still tries to execute as 'zabbix'.

Hi Radamand.

Once I've heard of a problem similar to yours and the solution were to use the following entries in /etc/sudoers file:

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias ZABBIXCMD = PUT_HERE_YOUR_REAL_COMMAND_FOLLOWED_BY_PARAMETERS_IF_EXIST
# ZABBIX special privileges
zabbix  ALL=NOPASSWD:   ZABBIXCMD

In zabbix_agentd.conf file you will have to use something like this:

UserParameter=YOUR_COMMAND_ALIAS,sudo YOUR_REAL_COMMAND_FOLLOWED_BY_PARAMETERS_IF_EXIST

This way, zabbix agent will be able to run ZABBIXCMD with special privileges and without be issued with a password.

let me try again, "WITHOUT using sudo".
