sudoers permissions issue

[alphonsebrown]

[user911@fbi ~]$ sudo firestarter
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

(firestarter:12664): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[user911@fbi ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@fbi ~]# firestarter
Firewall started

[1]+ Stopped firestarter
[root@fbi ~]# cat /etc/sudoers |grep firestarter
user911 ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/firestarter

why I get this permissions issue? selinux: permissive

i think it might be an error /(protection... ?_?) of firestater.

(firestarter:5244): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:This is a known bug, it happens with all python applications, like system-config-*

[alphonsebrown]

wow thanks but does it have to do with sudo or something more general

[bitrain]

It doesn't have anything to do with sudo. To make you feel more comfortable, try sudo yum update or something and you'll see that sudo works.

[alphonsebrown]

ok but what lead to this thought was if I su - then I can run same command
