Hi, One can tell sudo not to prompt for a password. I have the following lines in my sudoers file:
Cmnd_Alias VPN=/root/pppd-cat.sh tunnel ALL=NOPASSWD: VPN where 'tunnel' is a user on my computer. Adding the user to the cdrom group on Debian works (with kernel 2.6) since cd-writing can be done with the IDE drivers instead though the ide-scsi stuff. Making the device file world writable works too. xcdroast has an option to make the xcdroast binary setuid root (look at chmod). -Nathan On Mon, Sep 15, 2003 at 12:40:25PM -0400, Dan Monjar wrote: > --On Sunday, September 14, 2003 10:44:51 PM -0400 Ken Wahl > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>How do I make gtoaster available to a use on Redhat 9?
