[opensuse] PAM, YaST GUI and CLI
Hi list, - I've strange problem...If I invoke YaST from the a shell, giving yast2 After giving my root password, I get a GUI YaST as expected. If I select YaST from the GUI menu in my (SuSE10.2) standard desktop, it prompts me (as expected) for my root password - and then it persistently tells me that it's wrong..?? The log says: May 3 22:38:02 dell102 sudo: vk : pam_authenticate: User not known to the underlying authentication module ; TTY=pts/5 ; PWD=/home/vk ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub - Eh, now what?? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi list,
- I've strange problem...If I invoke YaST from the a shell, giving
yast2
After giving my root password, I get a GUI YaST as expected.
If I select YaST from the GUI menu in my (SuSE10.2) standard desktop, it prompts me (as expected) for my root password - and then it persistently tells me that it's wrong..??
The log says:
May 3 22:38:02 dell102 sudo: vk : pam_authenticate: User not known to the underlying authentication module ; TTY=pts/5 ; PWD=/home/vk ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub -
Probably you played with the yast2 sudo module, at release there was a bug that would break kdesu from working. This was later fixed with an online update but that doesn't help if you've already broken your sudoers file. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223719 for more information The simplest workaround is to save the following as ~/.kde/share/config/kdesurc [super-user-command] super-user-command=su _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
