1. Some time ago (Aug 13) I asked for advice on how to use ssh between
the 3 computers attached to my router. The solution I adopted was the
hostname.local notation, suggested by Andrew. That continued to work
until I had to re-install Raspbian (a cut-down(?) Debian Wheezy). Now
it doesn't. A web search found a reference to Avahi as the source of
the .local convention. And indeed my RPi doesn't have avahi running
whereas the 2 other computers do and .local works between them.
Clearly, I need to install avahi. But - is that the full answer?
2. On my re-installed RPi I added a new user and su-ed to it. Later on
this user tried to do a bit of adminstration using sudo. Not too
surprisinfly, I received an error message saying that this user was not
a sudoer and I would be reported to the Thought Police!
I looked at /etc/sudoers and found that it contains the standard entry:
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
and that the new user is in group sudo.
So why couldn't the new user sudo?
Regards,
John
