Re: No sudoer file
Yes I do. Well at least when I tried to reinstall the package it said it was replacing the which was already there. Is there a way to see if it is truly installed? It did say there was a error in line 98.

Re: No sudoer file
the root account having root as its username is normal on systems that allow logging in as root. In fact, I'm not aware of any distro that allows giving the root account a different username, though some distros have the option to disable the root account or even have it disabled by default(After all, with properly configured sudo, logging in as root isn't really necessary). No clue on what went wrong with configuring sudo or how to fix it though, nor can I help with the arch-specific bits as I'm most familiar with Debian and its derivatives. ___ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list

Well Michael, not sure how you would fix your root or sudo issues, however, once you are logged in, you could type cd followed by 2 periods. You would be in home, where you can run an ls to find all users on your machine.

Hello list, This is really embarrassing to say because I have been working on installing arch linux for a few days. Saying that,. I finally got it installed and realized I forgot my root user name.

Re: Problem installing talking arch
I add users to /etc/sudoers but I don't do it that way. When I am root I type: echo "jude (ALL)=ALL NOPASSWD:ALL" >>/etc/sudoers The user I just added was jude, and jude does not need to key in a password to get sudo access either. Watch all of the upper-case stuff in that command and be sure you key it in correctly. You might even make a script out of it.
