I wonder if this behaviour is a kind of security bug or something like that. In the LOCAL MACHINE (openSUSE 11.4) 1. ~> ssh remote_user@remote_host (password) 2. remote_user@remote_host:/> sudo ls / (root password) 3. remote_user@remote_host:/> exit Then, in the REMOTE MACHINE (also openSUSE 11.4): 4. open a new (gnome) terminal 5. ~> sudo ls / _(The sudo command in the remote machine doesn't ask for root password)_ bin boot dev etc home lib ... I think this is a security issue. An unprivileged user that knows that the system is maintained remotely using ssh and, perhaps, sudo, could keep attempting to use sudo until they gets it. PS. I use GNOME. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
