sudo vs. su root
Authored by: sssss on Oct 15, '01 11:59:18AM

I'm anonymous' friend.

And I actually can't get this to work with sudo. su root works fine, but if anyone can figure out how or where to made sudo work I'd love to hear it.

I had this problem too. sudo would not work. I discovered that your user-id must have a password and it must be admin or it won't work.

Well, I can get sudo to work fine by itself.
It is just the aliases that won't work With sudo that I'm having trouble with.

sudo doesn't let you use the cd command either, which is a nuissance. It seems that cd is not included in the "ALL" allowed commands? Weird. Is there a way to fix this and to add bbedit/bbeopen as a valid command, or is this an intentional security feature that can be changed?
