I have access to a file /etc/apache/myfile.conf that gets included in httpd.conf.
The permissions are:
-rw------- 1 root root
I have sudoedit permission to the file but not read!
I can open the file, edit it, but I just want to copy the entire content to take back up.
How do I do this?
You can cheat by setting $EDITOR to cat
e.g.
EDITOR=cat sudoedit /etc/apache/myfile.conf > copy_of_myfile.conf
If the only access you have is via sudoedit you could sudoedit the file and write it to a location you do have access to (e.g. /tmp or your home directory):
sudoedit /path/file
:w /newpath/newfile
sudo?
