Re: [trinity-users] tdecmshell sudo

In Debian, on my first install, I enter an empty password for admin, then I use sudo or sudo su to gain root privileges. Later, once I've got packages installed, etc. (including tdesudo), I create a root user, and edit my sudoers list. When I first install, though, I can only gain admin privileges in the shell (for downloading and installing pkgs, etc.), but I cannot open any GUI program with admin privileges using tdesu command or tdesudo. Just guessing that Slackware might behave in a similar manner. No doubt there is a better solution to this problem (and I would be glad to hear it myself). Yet it took me some searching in the forums to find this semi-solution. You might know more than I; but this works for me.
