Perhaps you could create a small setup app which would run on the
remote machine and edit the sudoers file for the user.

That'd be good, however, this for a an application, and I think
most users shouldn't do anything other than enable SSH on their
machines. I wouldn't want everyone who uses the app to go and
fiddle with the sudoers file?
And also, before working on that, how would I check if the user is
an admin, after someone connects to their remote machine through my
app?
Thanks.

Have the admin on the remote machine add the commands you need to
execute to the sudoers file with the NOPASSWD: modifier. This is

Hi,
I want to run some terminal commands on a remote machine through
my application (the tasks require admin authentication, i.e
sudo). Is this possible to do securely? I was thinking of using
SSH, but once the user supplies the name and password for the
remote machine, and my app connects to it, how do I check if it
was an administrator name and password. And once I verify that it
is a correct admin user, how would I directly send commands using
sudo -e? Or is there a way to use the Security framework for
remote authentication?
I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but just can't see how
it can be done. (executing sudo commands on a remote machine).
Thanks a lot for any help.
