Services what are used from remote

We need rights to the following services from remote machines:

SUDO rights for Hardware/Software Inventory

We need sudo rights with no password prompt for the following commands:

• /sbin/date                                                   
• /bin/date
• /sbin/sh ./ndtrack.sh *                                 
• /bin/sh ./ndtrack.sh *
• /sbin/rm –f ./ndtrack.sh ./ndtrack.ini             
• /bin/rm –f ./ndtrack.sh ./ndtrack.ini

The resultant SUDO configuration line is as follows:

{UserName}  ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/date,/sbin/date,/bin/sh ./ndtrack.sh *,/sbin/sh ./ndtrack.sh *,/bin/rm -f ./ndtrack.sh ./ndtrack.ini,/sbin/rm -f ./ndtrack.sh ./ndtrack.ini

Note1:  Please replace {UserName} with the user for RayVentory. 

Note2:  To edit the sudo configuration use the visudo command.
