Well, Joe, I don't know about Fedora 14 but I do know about earlier Fedoras and Scientific Linux 6 which I happen to have up on a virtual machine. All of them require the USER's password for sudo, not the root password. You should be able to test that yourself fairly easily. (I made that same mistake, publicly, a few years ago around here. When you do that the lesson tends to stick around. And of course, we NEVER use the same password for root as for our own account, do we?) {o.o} On 2011/03/21 13:19, Joe Zeff wrote: > In > fact, in Fedora, you can't even set sudo up so that you can use it > without using the *root password!* -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
