rather than just one or two commands that I would specify in the sudoers file. I asked Sanket for his /etc/sudoers file once, when he was on Ubuntu 5.04 I think. It was empty. So am I to understand that this sudo thing is hardcoded into the Ubuntu system?
Sudo cannot be hard coded, can it? Ubuntu does have this line in its sudoers file.
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
It says, all members of group admin are allowed to run sudo.
I really dont know why people bypass this and set password for root. There's "gksudo" available which can give access to admin utilities from gui password prompt.
