Hello

I can only adsl-start by logging as root.  How can I make adsl-start available 
for all users?  I tried sudousers but no avail (It is more than likely that I 
did something wrong but I don't know what).

Many thanks

As root in a terminal, call visudo.  This is the vi editor operating on 
/etc/sudoers.  Press 'I' to insert some text and, since I have done this 
for me, and not wanting to give a password when I call adsl-start, you 
might want to insert something like the following if you want that:

rolf    ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adsl-start, /usr/sbin/adsl-stop, 
/usr/bin/rdate

and so forth.  I put it right under root's line.  To save, press 
'Escape' and type :wq  The command to execute is sudo 
/usr/sbin/adsl-start, for example.  I create an icon on the desktop with 
that as the command to execute.
