Hi Mike

Thank you for your reply.

I will try to teach to my customer to use the command line; however, as he has never worked with Linux (he has got Windows XP and I am trying to push him, along with other customers, to switch to Linux), I am not so sure he can do that.

Do you know how this can be done working in a graphical environment such as Gnome?

You could give him access via sudo.

username     ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD:/bin/rpm
username     ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/yum

Then, all he has to do is issue:

sudo /bin/rpm -ivh package-he-wants.to.install.rpm

sudo /usr/bin/yum update

sudo /usr/bin/yum package-he-wants.to.install

Hi everybody

I have a PC running Fedora 9 that I have to lend to a customer for a
limited period.

I would like him to be able to install updates and to install and remove
programs without giving him the root password.

Is it possible, and if it is what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
