Oops, pushed the wrong button, I wanted to save and not to send the email. https://wiki.debian.org/sudo [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ gpasswd --help Usage: gpasswd [option] GROUP Options: -d, --delete USER remove USER from GROUP Note that some distros or perhaps desktop environments have more security barriers that cause "issues", for some X applications you need to run gksu, gksudo or kdesu, while for other distros there quasi is nothing set up by default, you have to set up everything regarding to accounts yourself, Arch Linux is one of those distros. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/ubuntu-tips-how-to-login-using-su-command-su-gives-authentication-failure-error-message/ Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
