Cmnd_Alias IPOD=/sbin/modprobe -r sbp2 Cmnd_Alias EJECT=/usr/bin/eject /dev/sda2,/usr/bin/eject /dev/sdb2 craig ALL= NOPASSWD : IPOD, EJECT then user 'craig' could do those specific commands without a password. Suit yourself, it's your system but I would ***heavily*** recommend against a real 'user' having a uid of "0" Craig
