Austin, it seems the /usr/bin/gksudo link isn't present in this package, so the second paragraph is incorrect, could you include the symlink (the whole reason I wanted to try the package). I also couldn't seem to get sudo support working right, I have in my /etc/sudoers: %adm ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/urpmi.update I am in the adm group, so I can: $ sudo /usr/sbin/urpmi.update ftp1 retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "ftp1"... ...retrieving done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.ftp1.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.ftp2.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.jpackage.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.srpms.cz] But: $ gksudo /usr/sbin/urpmi.update ftp1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] bgmilne]$ /bin/su: incorrect password I had linked /usr/bin/gksu as /usr/bin/gksudo, and it prompts me for root's password, whereas it should not prompt at all, or if it does, it should prompt me for *my* password.
