[smokeping-users] remote user problem

[Glenn Andersson]

Yea im using the NOPASSWD flag at the moment but the problem is that smokeping itself doesnt send the sudo command to the remote machine.

Check the man page for the sudoers file.   There is a flag called 
NOPASSWD that you can set on a user that means they will not be prompted 
for a password when executing privileged commands.    There are some 
related gotchas to set it up properly though, so a read through the man page is highly recommended.

Alternatively, script the password entry using expect.  ;)
