So it is quite possible that the line with %wheel comes after the line with your user name, so the conf for wheel (which default to password needed) takes precedence. To fix your issue, you probably should move the line with your user name below the line with %wheel. However, if you have enabled wheel group, uncomment the line containing '%wheel ... NOPASSWD' might also be OK. No need to add an additional line. -- alick Fedora 16 (Verne) user https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Alick -- 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 Have a question?
