Usage
Attributes
To use attributes for defining sudoers, set the attributes above on the node (or role) itself:
{ "default_attributes": { "authorization": { "sudo": { "groups": ["admin", "wheel", "sysadmin"], "users": ["jerry", "greg"], "passwordless": "true" } } } }
{ "default_attributes": { "authorization": { "sudo": { "command_aliases": [{ "name": "TEST", "command_list": [ "/usr/bin/ls", "/usr/bin/cat" ] }], "custom_commands": { "users": [ { "user": "test_user", "passwordless": true, "command_list": [ "TEST" ] } ], "groups": [ { "group": "test_group", "passwordless": false, "command_list": [ "TEST" ] } ] } } } } }
# roles/example.rb default_attributes( "authorization" => { "sudo" => { "groups" => ["admin", "wheel", "sysadmin"], "users" => ["jerry", "greg"], "passwordless" => true } } )
Note that the template for the sudoers file has the group "sysadmin" with ALL:ALL permission, though the group by default does not exist.
Sudoers Defaults
Configure a node attribute, node['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults']
as an array of Defaults
entries to configure in /etc/sudoers
. A list of examples for common platforms is listed below:
Debian
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = ['env_reset']
Ubuntu 12.04
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ 'env_reset', 'secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"' ]
FreeBSD
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ 'env_reset', 'secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"' ]
RHEL family 5.x The version of sudo in RHEL 5 may not support +=
, as used in env_keep
, so its a single string.
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ '!visiblepw', 'env_reset', 'env_keep = "COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR \ LS_COLORS MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME \ LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION \ LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC \ LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS \ _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"' ]
RHEL family 6.x
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ '!visiblepw', 'env_reset', 'env_keep = "COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR LS_COLORS"', 'env_keep += "MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE"', 'env_keep += "LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES"', 'env_keep += "LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE"', 'env_keep += "LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"', 'env_keep += "HOME"', 'always_set_home', 'secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin' ]
Mac OS X
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ 'env_reset', 'env_keep += "BLOCKSIZE"', 'env_keep += "COLORFGBG COLORTERM"', 'env_keep += "__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING"', 'env_keep += "CHARSET LANG LANGUAGE LC_ALL LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE"', 'env_keep += "LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME"', 'env_keep += "LINES COLUMNS"', 'env_keep += "LSCOLORS"', 'env_keep += "TZ"', 'env_keep += "DISPLAY XAUTHORIZATION XAUTHORITY"', 'env_keep += "EDITOR VISUAL"', 'env_keep += "HOME MAIL"' ]
Sudo Resource
Note Sudo version 1.7.2 or newer is required to use the sudo LWRP as it relies on the "#includedir" directive introduced in version 1.7.2. The recipe does not enforce installing the version. To use this LWRP, set node['authorization']['sudo']['include_sudoers_d']
to true
.
There are two ways for rendering a sudoer-fragment using this LWRP:
1. Using the built-in template
2. Using a custom, cookbook-level template
Both methods will create the /etc/sudoers.d/#{resourcename}
file with the correct permissions.
The LWRP also performs fragment validation. If a sudoer-fragment is not valid, the Chef run will throw an exception and fail. This ensures that your sudoers file is always valid and cannot become corrupt (from this cookbook).
Example using the built-in template:
sudo 'tomcat' do user "%tomcat" # or a username runas 'app_user' # or 'app_user:tomcat' commands ['/etc/init.d/tomcat restart'] end
sudo 'tomcat' do template 'my_tomcat.erb' # local cookbook template variables :cmds => ['/etc/init.d/tomcat restart'] end
In either case, the following file would be generated in /etc/sudoers.d/tomcat
# This file is managed by Chef for node.example.com # Do NOT modify this file directly. %tomcat ALL=(app_user) /etc/init.d/tomcat restart

v2.4.0 (2014-02-18)
BREAKING CHANGE: The sysadmin
group has been removed from the template. You will lose sudo access if:
- You have users that depend on the sysadmin group for sudo access, and

sysadmin
in the list of groups
Bug
- COOK-4225 - Mac OS X: /etc/sudoers: syntax error when include_sudoers_d is true
Improvement
- COOK-4014 - It should be possible to remove the 'sysadmin' group setting from /etc/sudoers
- COOK-3643 - FreeBSD support for sudo cookbook
New Feature
- COOK-3409 - enhance sudo lwrp's default template to allow defining default user parameters
v2.3.0
Improvement
- COOK-3843 - Make cookbook 'sudo' compatible with Mac OS X
v2.2.2
Improvement
- COOK-3653 - Change template attribute to kind_of String
- COOK-3572 - Add Test Kitchen, Specs, and Travis CI
Bug
- COOK-3610 - Document "Runas" attribute not described in the LWRP Attributes section
-
COOK-3431 - Validate correctly with
visudo
v2.2.0
New Feature
- COOK-3056 - Allow custom sudoers config prefix
v2.1.4
This is a bugfix for 11.6.0 compatibility, as we're not monkey-patching Erubis::Context.
Bug
- [COOK-3399]: Remove node attribute in comment of sudoers templates
v2.1.2
Bug
- [COOK-2388]: Chef::ShellOut is deprecated, please use Mixlib::ShellOut
