fdisk -l

[Olt, Joseph]

Nitin,

Sudo is the best answer.  If you really want fdisk to run for any user you can change the permissions:

Default permissions:
-bash-3.00$ /sbin/fdisk -l
-bash-3.00$ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          16      128488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2              17        1974    15727635   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            1975        2235     2096482+  82  Linux swap
/dev/sda4            2236        3263     8257410    5  Extended
/dev/sda5            2236        3263     8257378+  83  Linux

Alter permissions:
-bash-3.00$ sudo chmod 4755 /sbin/fdisk
-bash-3.00$ /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          16      128488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2              17        1974    15727635   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            1975        2235     2096482+  82  Linux swap
/dev/sda4            2236        3263     8257410    5  Extended
/dev/sda5            2236        3263     8257378+  83  Linux

Joseph
