Arthur Petit sez: } hi again... } } when i type sudo and then my root passwd it says that it's a bad } passwd... } } i wanted to use sudo to can use fink comander... } } i remember that i had found on the net how to do to don't asking root } passwd at sudo prompt....
By default, sudo expects the user's password. One can, however, put the line Defaults rootpw in the sudoers file (run visudo as root) so that it expects the root password. There are those who consider this undesirable because it means anyone who will be using sudo must know the root password and, therefore, could just as easily become root and do whatever they want. On the other hand, given the exceedingly few people with accounts on my machine (my gf and me) and the fewer accounts from which administration is ever done (mine), I would much prefer that sudo requires as much authentication as root itself. Incidentally, I have the following set in my sudoers file: myaccount ALL= ALL, NOPASSWD: /sw/bin/fink, /sw/bin/apt-get, /sw/bin/dselect This allows me to run fink admin commands from sudo without a password. I don't recommend it for everyone (it isn't great security), but it's damned convenient. } thanks again... --Greg _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
