LinuxQuestions.org - yast error

- SUSE / openSUSE (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-opensuse-60/)

- - yast error (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-opensuse-60/yast-error-514127/)

When I want to start yast it says password is wrong but by console I can start it with same password. Also I can log as root with same password. what is this problem?Messages are as follows on 1st and 2nd try
Incorrect password; please try again.
Conversation with su failed.

I've got the same error.

It has to do with the new Sudoers module in Yast2.
I played around in there and now it doesnt accept the root password from KDE, but I can still get in to "su" via the shell.

Can someone post their /etc/sudoers file from a Suse 10.2 default installation?
Thanks! :D

I logged as root and then started yast then changed root's password and it removed my problem.:)
By the way after some time my system crashed and became read only.:confused: It could not be repaired so I reinstalled Suse Linux.
Now working fine.

Dont use Sudoers in Yast

I reinstalled Suse 10.2 to see the original suoders file in etc.
