Hi all
Now openSUSE 11.0 uses su instead sudo. So, how to solve tiresome questions about root´s privileges?
In openSUSE 10.3 it was possible to solve with editing /etc/sudoers
I´m tired of entering the root password every time if i want to install or configure something, if i want to start YaST, or when i simply want a rootshell.
Any tip?Is any way how to solve it?
Thanks.

‘sudo’ and ‘su’ are both installed in all versions of SUSE by default.
‘sudo’ should work just fine as it always has as far as I know. As they
are different utilities they are made to serve different purposes… su
is made to switch accounts… sudo is made to run things as root
(typically). From the GUI you may want to try ‘gnomesu’ or ‘kdesu’ as
perhaps they will help with the password remembering, but as long as
you’re in the same environment with multiple invocations of the ‘sudo’
command I would expect it to work. Have you setup your sudoers file to
let you use sudo in the way you expect?
Good luck.

Hi,
I’m new to Linux and all, but I seem to have no big problem with that. YaST->Security and Users->Sudo, select root, tick box on [No Password], this removes password query on YaST for example. If you want to use sudo with no password in same YaST Sudo add your user name, ALL ALL ALL & commands Add… ALL, also [x] No Password, this should allow you to use sudo without entering your password (well it’s not very safe using those root and sudo with no password). Still, kdesu asks you for root password anyway, some GUI programs launched with sudo returns “Could not connect to X server” or something like that, so I still have to use kdesu and enter root password.
Hope this will help.
