OpenSUSE Install :: Change Password Just For Sudo?

Apr 6, 2010

I'm using Debian and openSUSE 11.2 and the sudo-ing is a bit different in Debian. It actually makes more sense to enter your own password like in Debian to achieve sudo status than have to use the root password for sudo status. If I for example would like to give someone on my system sudo rights, I can't give them the root password. Thats just like giving them root access. Or is there a way to change that behavior, or just change sudo password, in openSUSE? Or maybe any other best practice for giving users sudo rights?

OpenSUSE :: How To Change Sudo Password

Jun 6, 2011

Is there a way to change the sudo password after installation has taken place? I know you can change the user password via that box in 'About me' but that still leaves behind the old sudo password.

OpenSUSE Install :: Change In Inittab - Login - Does Not Ask For A Password And It Says Wrong Password

Nov 22, 2010

I work on a product that have to start automatically an application. Running Opensuse 11.2 So in the inittab I have : 1:2345:once:/root/Velox/VeloxBoot.sh 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2

In the VeloxBoot.sh, if I don't press any key, my application starts after a timeout. If the user presses a key I want to have a login prompt. Unfortunately, if I start /bin/login, I have a prompt with login, but once I enter my login, it does not ask for a password and it says wrong password

OpenSUSE Install :: Change Computer Name / Dedicated Root Password

Dec 2, 2009

I don't know that this post fits here, nor does it fit in "Applications." installing suse doesn't seem to give you the chance to name your computer. Now my computer is called "linux-0qvi" or something strange like that. I want to name my computer. Can I do this now without screwing things up??

Also, during install, there didn't seem to be an opportunity to make a separate root password. My first (and main user) account is now set up with admin rights, so I have to type in my account password every time I do something as root. Can I set a separate dedicated root password without screwing up my system?

Ubuntu :: Sudo And Login Password Recognized - Password Box Does Not Like

Apr 27, 2010

I needed to use Synaptic Package Manager to install an app, but the dialog box ("enter the Administrative Password") that pops up before you can use Synaptic doesn't recognize my password ("incorrect password). I tried typing it into a text editor and it's spelled right, caps lock not turned on or anything.

In Terminal, sudo recognizes it, and it is recognized when I log into Ubuntu. I'm the sole user, I have admin privileges, I've been doing admin things.

I just now did System > Administration > Users and Groups and got a dialog box saying

"Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Server ping error: IDLmg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)"

Moving past that, I changed my user password, and Ubuntu authenticated it.

How do you launch Synaptic Package Manager from the command line?

OpenSUSE Install :: Any Way To Disable SU And Only Use Sudo

Aug 12, 2010

I am wondering what the easiest way for me to disable su and perform all root stuff using sudo, the way Ubuntu works. I am using a shared system, openSUSE 11.3, and notice that the only item that gets logged in su is who su'd. I need more information and sudo + command gets logged to /var/log/messages so I can see who did what and when. How can I get openSUSE 11.3 to work similiar to Ubuntu when it comes to running elevated commands or editing files that a normal user doesn't have rights to?

All was fine until last week when our chief asked to me to set password expiration for all clients.

Ubuntu :: Sudo Isn't Asking For Password?

Jul 27, 2010

I installed ubuntu minimal install with xorg, lxde, and lxdm During the manual install, I do remember it asking something about extra encryption on password or something like that which was "highly recommended" and I chose yes, which probably has nothing to do with my problem, which is: Whenever I run something in the terminal with sudo, it just opens without asking for password. What did I do wrong? How might I fix this?

General :: Sudo No Password

May 23, 2011

I have an old server running RHEL 5.5 and I normally just type sudo nothing else and I'm instantly root. I copied my sudoers file from here to a new server but it seems not to work cause I type sudo and it ask for usage. Is something else besides the sudoers file that prevents me from logging in with sudo only.

Ubuntu :: Change Root Password - Typing A Password, No Characters Show Up?

Mar 9, 2010

I'm really new to Linux so this will probably sound like a pretty naive question to most users, but how do you change the root password?To install Java, I have to type # su into Terminal,which then asks for the password.What's weird is that when I start typing a password, no characters show up. I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not.I've found a bunch of different sites on the Internet that explain how to change the root password, but none of them seem to work for my specific work station.

I've got Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. In the GRUB boot menu, I can choose to boot normal or in recovery mode (I'm led to believe older versions don't have this option).I've tried typing # sudo passwrd into Terminal, but I already have a root password set up apparently, so I can't change it there.

General :: Safer No Password Sudo?

Nov 22, 2010

This is on my host machine. I'm the only one using it so it's fairly safe, but I have a very complex password that is hard to type over and over. I use the console for moving files around and executing arbitrary commands a LOT, and I switch terminals, so sudo remembering for the console isn't enough (AND I still have to type in my terrible password at least once!) In the past I have used the NOPASSWD trick in sudoers but I've decided to be more secure. Is there any sort of compromise besides allowing no password access to certain apps? (which can still be insecure) Something that will stop malware and remote logins from sudo rm -rf /-ing me, but in my terminals I can type happily away? Can I have this per terminal, perhaps, so just random commands won't make it through? I've tried running the terminal emulations as sudo, but that puts me as root.

Ubuntu :: Ask For Root Password Instead Of Sudo?

Dec 16, 2010

When i install or upgrade the system I want to be asked for the root password instead of just the normal password for sudo. The reason for this is that the kids and so on uses my system and know my password. They do not know my root password though. I do not want them to install or mess up my system by pure fumbling, so is this possible to do. A simple change in who runs the updater/install features...

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Sudo Not Needing Password

May 4, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a vm in VMPlayer 3.0. My correct user password is required to log in. When I use the sudo command or enter an area that requires my password, the password box pops up as it should.

The problem is:
If I enter my actual password, it is not accepted.
But if I enter nothing, as in just hit enter, it works. It shouldn't.

That seems just a little backwards and I don't get it. I've re-installed the vm and still have the same problem.

General :: Sudo With Seprate Password

Oct 7, 2010

Is there a way I can setup sudo with a seprate password other than root and the user password and yet I need it to pull the password from the passwd file. Ok here is why they are wanting to tie the sudo password into cyberark appliance that manages the passwords. So when the user needs to run a root command they would check out a password from cyberark. cyberark changes password from in the password file. So to restate myself is there a way to set sudo up to pull its own password from the password file and not the users or root.

General :: Sudo - Run All Commands With Password?

Feb 16, 2010

Having a problem with sudo. I'm down as a user who can run all commands as root provided I enter my password. The relevant line from my /etc/sudoers file :

Code:

user1 ALL=(ALL) ALL

There are several commands that I run quite frequently such as mount and fdisk but would like to avoid having to enter a password each time I use them. What would be the appropriate change to the sudoers file ?

UPDATE: I neglected to scroll down to the bottom of the /etc/sudoers file where there was the line :

Code:

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

and since user1 was a member of the admin group any predeeding lines were being overidden by this. Commenting out this line and adding

Code:

user1 ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /sbin/fdisk
