Hello all, I have unsucessfully been attempting to find out through both documentation, testing, and internet sources if I can get consolehelper to act more like sudo rather than su. Right now my problem is that there is NO WAY to roll this out to more users as a desktop alternative without giving them some power user ability ( printers, date and time, removable storage managment, ... ). Right now in order to give them access to these applications AFAICT I must either give the users the root password ( not gonna happen ) or create a pam.d file so that there is no password prompt ( pam_wheel with trust option ). Neither of these is a truly acceptable option at this point. Any change should try to keep the system as close to baseline as possible, I would prefer not to rip out the consolehelper system, but I will if I have to. The featureset I want is identical to sudo, but I will make accomidations as long as I can allow users to run a specific command after prompting for the users password. If anyone can point me in the right direction or just tell me that it's impossible with the current system that would be a great help. Cheers, Eric Warnke Systems Administer, Research ITS SUNY at Albany
