To fix this, tested on Debian Sid thought I suppose it works on other versions, edit the sysactions.conf file. Below the line that says "# root is allowed…", add your username as below:
# root is allowed to do anyting - but it needs to be here explicitly anyway user: root allow: * user: your-username allow: * This is not especially elegant, but it works. You can probably just use the group allow right below that, if you are a member of one of those groups. Or maybe add your own group and add it there too. Logout and back in, all options should be there. mheyes On Dec 13, 2011, at 12:29 PM, Jeff Hoogland wrote: > Nope never got this resolved on the Debian system. > > On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Dustin Jenkins <at88...@shaw.ca> wrote: > >> Did this ever get resolved?
