access list</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello, execute (in a terminal) su (and provide password for
root), and then visudo to edit the file /etc/sudoers. It is important that you
use visudo, and not editing it directly (for reasons I don't know). I myself
added the line <BR>joe ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL<BR>to the bottom
(if joe is my username). Then I never have to type my password. If you jus
ttype<BR>joe ALL = ALL<BR>then you have to type your password
sometimes.<BR><BR>Regards<BR>/Pär<BR><BR>
