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

the way most admins allow external scripts to work between machines.

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.
