I been looking for ways to let normal user run privileged commands and

after some searching found that adding users to the wheel group is bad

and also adding NOPASSWD and ALL = ALL to sudoers for an user is also

plain as bad. The only alternative I can think of at the moment is to

populate the sudoers file with specific commands the user would be

running and thus I am doing this -


user  server = NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount, /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb


But it seems like a lot of work as I have around 30 servers and not

all servers require the exact same command.


Is there any easier and secure way of populating the sudoers files?


Thanks.
