Hey there,
for monitoring purposes, my /etc/sudoers contains the following lines:
Code:
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md1
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md2
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md3
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md5
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md6
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md7
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md8
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdb
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdc
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdd
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sde
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdf
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdg
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdh
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/iptstate -1
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/iptstate -1 -t

Since these commands are executed _really_ often, the messages of the successful use of sudo are filling my log files. How can I suppress logging just for these commands? The following settings do not work at all - everything keeps being logged:
Code:
## Uncomment to enable logging of a command's output, except for
## sudoreplay and reboot.  Use sudoreplay to play back logged sessions.
# Defaults log_output
# Defaults!/usr/bin/sudoreplay !log_output
# Defaults!/usr/local/bin/sudoreplay !log_output
# Defaults!/sbin/reboot !log_output
Defaults log_output
Defaults!/sbin/mdadm !log_output
Defaults!/usr/sbin/smartctl !log_output
Defaults!/usr/sbin/iptstate !log_output


Any help would be really appreciated.

Best regards,
Jimini

You might need to give the full command in the Defaults part too.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that - if I add the full command including any parameters like "Defaults!/usr/bin/iptstate -1 !log_output", visudo complains about that.

Does it work if you edit and save the file using any other editor?

I edited /etc/sudoers with nano to:
(47) Defaults!/usr/sbin/smartctl !log_output
(48) Defaults!/usr/sbin/iptstate -1 !log_output
As you can see, I added the parameter "-1" to line 48.

The following error was logged:
Quote:

Best regards,
