https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223719 ------- Comment #21 from benji.weber@gmail.com 2007-01-03 14:04 MST ------- This is becoming one of the most frequently asked questions about 10.2 on IRC. Any chance of having it fixed with an online update? It is affecting many users who see the new module and have a look but don't change anything, thinking they are safe, while yast removes the lines that kdesu requires. On a clean system /etc/sudoers contains the following (uncommented) lines: Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset Defaults targetpw ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL root ALL=(ALL) ALL Now yast -> Security and Users -> Sudo -> Edit -> Ok -> Finish (User thinks they have changed nothing) The /etc/sudoers line now only contains: Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset root ALL = (ALL) ALL kdesu will now no longer work. resetting to the original content will fix kdesu. For those reading this with this problem: To remove the problem with the sudo yast module simply comment out lines 88,89,90,266 in /usr/share/YaST2/modules/Sudo.ycp and issue "ycp -c ./Sudo.ycp" as root in /usr/share/YaST2/modules To get back a default (working) sudoers file paste the following into a terminal as root: cat > /etc/sudoers <<\EOF Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset Defaults targetpw ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL root ALL=(ALL) ALL EOF Whether it is best to "fix" the yast sudo module or kdesu I don't know, but I think this issue is worthy of an online update, as it is affecting many users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
