VeraCrypt dismounting in console requires root password
up vote

I use VeraCrypt this way:
- Open the VeraCrypt GUI.
- Mount a container.
- Enter root password for mounting.
But I need an option for "emergency" dismounting all devices. I know there is "hotkeys" in Win version but I use it on Linux, Ubuntu 16.04. So I tried to run this command in console:
veracrypt -f -d
But it asks for root password to do this, despite it doesn't ask for the root password in GUI when "dismount all" has been clicked.
How can I make a system-wide hotkey dismounting all devices and not asking for the password? Is it possible to "whitelist" only this command veracrypt -f -d in sudoers without opening a backdoor according to this?
Thanx.

You can add your script to the /etc/sudoers by using the visudo.
See sudo-Konfiguration (DE)
# group users allow to run script without password
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/IRGENDEINSKRIPT
# to use:
sudo /usr/sbin/IRGENDEINSKRIPT

In your link there is the answer ;-) You should not use /usr/bin/veracrypt but can allow your script only allowing the umount.
