No, IMHO it would be too messy: I would have a user password, a sudo password,
a root password. I don't like sudo because I don't see the limits between
user and root, to me it's a bad solution (but I don't want to start yet
another sudo vs root discussion).
Starting the programs with tdesu is OK, it's clear that you are root and they
work perfectly this way. I will check if addding my user to the sudo group
helps, but I am definitely not going to use sudo.
Thanks for the suggestion however.
Note: of course I could give the same password everywhere :)
It's not really a joke, as that's what openSuSE's install proposes (to use the
user password for root). How they came to that idea I don't know.
