Be careful who you give access to sudo too! If you give a user sudo access you've just given him full access, all he needs to do is sudo su and he's in without root password, and change the root password, any settings really. On Wed, 2003-06-18 at 19:07, Zack Gilburd wrote: > On Wednesday 18 June

1. Gentoo has virtual runlevels. Default is the equivalent of runlevel 3 (command line, networking up, etc.) while x (I think that's it) is the equivalent of runlevel 5. Check out the docs on the Gentoo site. You use rc-update to add items to runlevels. 2. You don't. (you can use sudo).
