[opensuse] sudo Differences on separate 10.3 installs?
Listmates, On 2 different 10.3 installs (both identical except for Firefox) sudo (or kdesudo) works totally different, why? Specifically, on one I am asked for a root password in kde for Yast and kde control center "Administrator Mode", on the other, no password is required. It doesn't make sense. Both have "%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL" in /etc/sudoers by visudo and on both, the user is a member of the wheel group. Why doesn't sudo work the same on both? What can I check? Thanks for your help. Footnote: On 11.0 with the same setup a password is required for Yast and Administrator Mode in kde. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

There is no kdesudo only kdesu. It used to utilize sudo but it uses su now (read: sudoers have no effect). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
