can't figure out a problem with sudo - SOLVED

[KURT BUFF]

Lowell,

Well, as I'm sure you (and anyone else who's been working with it) know,
sudo is a picky little beast. This was my first attempt at setting it
up.

After banging my head against this for a while longer this morning, I
changed my sudoers file with the following:

Old:
| > # Cmnd alias specification
| > Cmnd_Alias   RELOAD = /usr/local/sbin/postfix reload
| > Cmnd_Alias   MAP = /usr/local/sbin/postmap
| /usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
| > Cmnd_Alias   RECIPS = /usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
| > Cmnd_Alias   DB = /usr/local/etc/etc/postfix/relay_recipients.db
| > Cmnd_Alias   COPYRELAY = /bin/cp /usr/local/etc/postfix

New:
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias   RELOAD = /usr/local/sbin/postfix reload
Cmnd_Alias   MAP = /usr/local/sbin/postmap
/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipien
ts
Cmnd_Alias   RECIPS = /usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
Cmnd_Alias   DB = /usr/local/etc/etc/postfix/relay_recipients.db
Cmnd_Alias   COPYRELAY = /bin/cp /home/filter/pfm/relay_recipients
/usr/local/et
c/postfix/relay_recipients

It now works as I wanted.

Sigh. Learning is hard, but rewarding.
