Hello, Is it possible to pass "sudo" the root-password in some way (I would prefer plaintext)? The reason is I use an umts-connection utility which has to run as root, and I don't want to have my parents type a root-password every time they connect to our ISP. For now I simply didn't set a root-password, and choose "run as: root" in KDE, but I really dislike this solution. Thank you in advance, Clemens
Add the user to the 'wheel' group, then run visudo and un-comment this line: ## Same thing without a password %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALLThat's the easy-lazy way that lets them run anything with the word sudo in front of it.
You could get a bit more secure, something like... username localhost=/path/to/command -options NOPASSWD:ALLI have obviously been easy-lazy about this as I am not 100% on the syntax. Enjoy!
