Hello Another approach is to say that that particular command can be ran by that particular user without prompting for a password: 1-type "visudo" 2-add the following line at the end of the file: <user> ALL= NOPASSWD: <command> 3-you may also need to comment line: Defaults requiretty And that's it -vcf -----Mensagem original----- De: users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Em nome de Clemens Eisserer Enviada: domingo, 18 de Julho de 2010 13:52 Para: Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora. Assunto: Howto script "sudo"? 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.
