When I talk about the 'root' password I mean the one to use with sudo.No, my fault for not going far enough (and getting side-tracked, to boot) with my answer. No, you can't have a different password for sudo and log-in with the same user. sudo doesn't have a separate database of passwords, it uses the same data as everything else does. Changing login password changes sudo password.
That is what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
