Why should we set arguments in sudoers configuration? For example



user ALL= EXEC: PASSWD: /sbin/reboot -f ""


here I can call only "reboot -f" command. So if I set



user ALL= EXEC: PASSWD: /sbin/reboot -f *


or



user ALL= EXEC: PASSWD: /sbin/reboot


How can someone use this to hack or do something?



Best regards, Alex.

    Consider reboot -p, then drive three hours to restart the machine.

    Imagine needing to give rights to service or systemctl. You want to make very sure they can only restart their own service.
