Question #79333 on sudo in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+question/79333
Kamus posted a new comment: Dear Mike, extract from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers Defaults env_reset , resets the terminal environment after switching to root. So, ie: all user set variables are removed. The second (root ALL=(ALL) ALL) just lets root do everything on any machine as any user. And the third (%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL) lets anybody in the admin group run anything as any user. Note that they will still require a password (thus giving you the normal behaviour you are so used to), by defaults "/etc/sudoers". -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
