SuSE93 Root password rejected from normal user mode (No Sudo, No YaST)
Hi Community
I've seen this on the formum, but none help: None of the users can "sudo" or access admin privileges on my SuSE93 box, when prompt for password it's stated as "incorrect" -I can still log as root -I changed the root password -All users (3) face the same issue. -Main User is set to group Wheel (thsi doesn't look to dangerous to edit) At some point on these forums, I found advice on the need to do "visudo" (edit my sudoers' profile specs). It looks frightening, I don't wan't to play with that fiel without a bit more assistance. -Name of my main user: "jph" -Name of restricted users (no admin, no root shell, but dvdrom mount, scanning & printing ok): "moufflets";"poutou" -Actual content of my sudoers: Quote:
Thanks Jean-Philippe. |
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
If you uncomment this line, then members of group wheel can use sudo. You need to include the full pathname when using sudo. This is a precaution in case someone has inserted an identically named program in your PATH. For example: "sudo /sbin/route" instead of "sudo route". Members of the wheel group don't magically get extra access. It is a convenient standardized name for the group that is allowed administrative access when configured. In other words, it's the group name in /etc/sudoers that is assumed you want to use. |
Hmm...
I lost the ability to sudo with my latest mods Code:
sudo /sbin/YaST2 returns Fail again, can't su, can't sudo, can't do admin things either Mod lines in sudoers: Code:
