Hi, I am no authority on the matter, but from my use of sudo I gathered that with "targetpw" the expected password is the one of the sudo target (-u ), default to root but can be any user in a multi-user environment. To always have sudo ask for the root password one should use "rootpw". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
