My wife's machine is on a different floor. Nine times out of ten,

out of ten of those times, it's because privoxy has somehow gotten
stopped. (The other times, I usually have to reboot the router a/o the
modem.)
I tried adding her to the privoxy group, using Fedora's "Users
and Groups" app. But I still get :
[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ su - tslg
Password:
[tslg@Hbsk2 ~]$ service privoxy restart
Can't find /usr/sbin/privoxy, exit.
Is there a reason you're becoming tslg and trying to restart privoxy?
You should be root to restart privoxy, so as user btth:
$ su -
(enter root password)
# service privoxy restart
# exit
$
should do it. Ideally, you should use "sudo service privoxy restart",
but your username has to be in /etc/sudoers (see below).
[tslg@Hbsk2 ~]$ sudo service privoxy restart
[sudo] password for tslg:
tslg is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
[tslg@Hbsk2 ~]$
What am I doing wrong??
Whatever user is trying to invoke sudo MUST be in the /etc/sudoers file.
There's another reply to this thread that describes how to put that in
(by using visudo).
