What I mean is that you can have root access yet no be allowed to run stuff through sudo as your normal user account (i.e. you would 'su' to do it.) The I use sudo (and I am by no means saying that this is even the right way - I don't know) as a way of running a program without having to su first (e.g. nmapfe, launching aptitude from a keyboard shortcut, rebooting with a keyboard shortcut and a password confirmation in case I do it by accident etc...) I most certainly DO NOT allow my user account to have access to everything through sudo (otherwise I might as well go and run Windows then.) -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
