Execute programs with sudo privilleges with non-root users

Sometimes we don't want normal users to provide sudo rights. but we want to run some scripts which can only run with the sudo.

in that case we can set user rights that will run only specific script with sudo privilleges.

You can perform this by three ways.

Method 1:

 
Create file (vim /etc/sudoers.d/iosys) and add below lines in created file. 

username ALL=NOPASSWD:/command/to/execute
username ALL=NOPASSWD:/command/to/execute 

Note: Change username accordingly.

Method 2: 

Open below configuration file, and made provided changes into it.

nano /etc/sudoers

Edit it with below lines,

# User privilege specification 

root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

ALL ALL =(root) NOPASSWD:/command/to/execute

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
%sudo   ALL=NOPASSWD:/command/to/execute 

Allow SSH for specific IP without using IPTABLES.

With using below steps you can block and Allow specific IPs to take SSH without using iptables and Firewall.

Open below file,

cat /etc/hosts.allow

sshd: 192.168.0.13 : allow
sshd: ALL : deny

This will allow SSH for 192.168.0.13 IP only.
