I seem to recall this being a bug, but I can't find it right now. The idea was that anything gksudoish would let you pick a user to authenticate to sudo as, but for a long time they'd insist that the user created on initial install be used, irrespective of the current users presence in sudoers. I've just had a quick look for the bug but can't find it, what version of Ubuntu are you running? -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
