Used yast to give root privilege to a standard user. At first tried specific commands only, then gave the ALL commands privilege. no joy. Tried visudo from command line, same result. tried other editors, same result. Even when given root privilege for all commands, user "plain" can not run *any* root commands. the lines in the yast2 sudo window read: ALL ALL (ALL) No ALL root ALL (ALL) No ALL plain ALL (ALL) Yes ALL the sudoers file reads: ...................... <clip> # User privilege specification root ALL = (ALL) ALL plain ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL ..<clip>............................................................ The system is 11.1, 64 bit, kde-3, kernel 2.6.27.45-0.1-default latest updates from the standard Suse depositories, nothing factory or unstable. how to fix? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
