Hi;
I originally asked this question on the Gnome list and got this quoted
response:
Is there a relatively simple way to change admin/system programs
called
by gnome launchers so that they ask for / accept the users password
and
the sudoers file and configuration instead of only the root
password?
I think that's distribution specific. Fedora, for example, asks for
the root password (or at least it did up to FC5, the last one I used).
Ubuntu asks for the user's password. I believe the app used is
gksu(do).
I have just done a clean Fedora 7 install, replacing FC6. I'll ask on
the Fedora list.
So, I am asking. Can I change the su launcher gizmo to a sudo qizmo
with out ripping things apart? e.g. change something in the launcher
command line?
