Re: [gentoo-user] sudo difficulties
I've added the following to the bottom of my sudo file using 'visudo' and there are no complaints of bad syntax, but grant still can't shut down the system: grant system4 = /sbin/shutdown -h now What am I missing? - Grant First try to edit one of the examples and see if that works. For example try this one: %users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now Replace %users with the group for grant. Jim I actually tried that first and when that failed I tried something like that specified here: www.gentoo.org/doc/en/sudo-guide.xml Either way I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /sbin/shutdown -h now shutdown: you must be root to do that! - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
