Re: [CentOS-docs] Testing Wiki migration - asking for testers
Hi, I tried to create new page: http://wikitesting.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Compaq-nc6910p?action=edit&template=LaptopTemplate and all I got was "You cannot change the content of that page" (translated from Polish). The same message was when I tried to create new empty page. Is that correct? PS. I used credentials centos:testing, of course. :^) Regards, Rafal 2014-09-03 18:53 GMT+02:00 Alain Reguera Delgado : > On 9/3/14, Fabian Arrotin wrote: > > Hi nice people interested in CentOS Docs and wiki ! > ... > > Can I so ask for you collaboration/feedback please ? > > I edited the ArtWork/Repository page and uploaded a file to it too > without any issue. > > Thank you Fabian > > Cheers, > al. > ___ > CentOS-docs mailing list > CentOS-docs@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs > ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

It doesn't need to be vi because sudo uses $EDITOR (which defaults to vim in CentOS5) shell variable to run Your Beloved Editor (tm) :^) I've just mentioned it in the article. > Nils Rafal ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Yes, brings "run menu", but there is no place to tell which user should run that command. Of course, one can type 'sudo -s' and pick checkbox "Run in terminal".

I realize of course that ordinary user mustn't mess with pam :^) , but admin-beginner should know about that method, and our HOWTO could be a good introduction. Of course we shouldn't explain every pam module here, just the basic config. I'm doing most of my admin job in console with sudo, but I know that if my users migrate one day from XP to Linux, they will not want to use su/sudo to run programs with raised privileges. > How far such an article should be expanded, and whether we wish to cover > every conceivable method for launching something with root privileges is > probably not something for me to answer.
