hi,

Thanks! I didn't know the possibility of an install with disabled root-login. I use DebIan 90% in a professionell environment and disable root login by hand. So yes, I would prefer an administrative group and would say: disabled root login as default (like logins on GDM). I don't like the idea to do sudo-things without password. I like it to pass my secret, because this is a hint, that I do something system-related. So: I think we need a password here. > 1/ The sudo group in previous Debian releases had a different meaning: Members > of groups sudo could run sudo without needing a password. > > 2/ Using the name sudo in context of PolicyKit sounds weird and misleading. Yes, sudo is not a good name for an admin group. Well, admin also, because "Domain admin", "admin" "and "administrators" are to near to windows. I use winbind to get the groups out of the active directory and would prefer unique names for groups. My suggestions are: - debadm - linad (linux-administrator) - uwscp (just a joke: user-with-super-cow-powers; a lean to "his APT has Super Cow Powers." ;) ) Greetings, Björn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
