This part is not right I believe, the good thing of sude is that you scalate privileges by using your own password, not root's password, I don't even know root's passwords of the server. > If you don't want > to have the use a password to use sudo (highly recommended you do), > uncomment # %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL instead. BTW, I think you missunderstood the question, I have sudo isntalled, I know how it works and I am using it to do anything that requires root on my server (after logging in as pupeno). My question is, how do I run a command like this: rsync --verbose --checksum --archive --partial --progress --rsh="ssh" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/ ./var/ having root-privileges on the server. -- Pupeno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (http://pupeno.com) Reading ?
