Hi James, thanks for your answer. It happens when I open the Control Manager and go to the YaST2 modules to configure some hardware and so on. The same if I go to the system administration -> login manager and want to access the administration mode. also when i am in the kwifimanager and when i try to change the wireless settings it asks for the root password. sudo would allow me a very fine grained access control to administrative tasks vi the /etc/sudoers file instead of handing out the root password. so if i could replace it would be great. kind regards sebastian James Richard Tyrer <tyrerj@xxxxxxx> wrote: > itlistuser@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm using kde 3.4.1 on SuSE 9.3.
