I'm pretty sure all you have to do is give the root account a password. I'm starting to question the security of the sudo approach that has been taken with Ubuntu because sometimes I will be logged in for hours, and when the computer tells me there is an update, it doesn't ask for a password. This is on a 12.04 machine. Seems like installing things as root is the way to go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
