The main purpose of sudo is to allow non-root to use root commands, without having to give them all the power that comes with knowing the root password. This is defeated by the install configuration.
The default config doesn't defeat anything. It merely makes sudo usable without configuration (sudo would issue a fake password prompt and then complain by default if those two lines you dislike weren't there). Think of it as su without stupid shell quoting problems. If you've already read the sudo manpage and therefore found out how to allow certain operations without root authentication feel free to run "sudo visudo" and change the config to your liking ("su -c visudo" if you want to boycot the default behavior ;-). cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
