Pardon me for saying so but a/ there is no man sudoers, at least not on my MD 9.1; b/man sudo can be read for sure. If it looks too hard to comprehend remember to visit it at a later stage. IMNSHO I do believe an advice of `Don`t read man...` is not a good advice. I use sudo all the time and it`s a blast. In combination with that I made aliases for all of the sudo commands that I use and put them in my ~/.bashrc, for example: alias sps='sudo /sbin/service prelude status' BTW, don`t be turned off by the fact that /etc/sudoers must be edited with vi. If you are not (yet) familiar with vi, you can try editing with any editor and follow this up by a command `visudo -c` (in /etc) and this will check the syntax for you and report errors, if any. Finally, on a related part of the thread, I would like to point out that whether the `keep password` is flagged or not, the kdesu thread remains resident even if terminated, same with the gnome similar prog (can`t remember the name immy.). Probably the same phenomenon as the hour`s keep in memory that was remarked. As I don`t like zombie threads, I kill them asap. Lately I found it much cleaner to open a terminal window and `su` > pwd > appname& HTH Regards, =Dick Gevers= .----> Mandrake visibility?
