Confusing.
It seems your sudo configuration differs from the current SUSE one. On my system, I have (unchanged according to rpm -V): # grep '^[^#]' /etc/sudoers Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'! root ALL=(ALL) ALL It can be discussed if "Defaults targetpw" is a good idea (I don't believe so) - but most probably this setting won't be changed back. Houghi: maybe using "su" would be a better idea... > Is the opensuse link above correct, or has it got to be modified to > add the "sudo" instructions?
