Description Markus Meisters 2005-09-26 07:47:50 UTC

I tried to configure that my normal user could run any program as the user root.
But if I try to do 'sudo su -' on 10.0 RC4 the option NOPASSWD: does not work -
I have to give the root password.

Has there something changed?

my config is:
mmeiste10  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ALL

Strange, this works for me in RC4. So this is probably a problem with your
configuration, not a bug. You might try `ALL=(ALL)'. Closing this, but I take
the maintainer into CC, maby he can give you a clue.

I have verified that this works on two machines (10.0 RC4).
With a line:

user  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

in /etc/sudoers
a `sudo su -' can be done without being asked for a password (not even initially).

Nontheless, maby Marian or Andreas can give us a clue anyway?
