Dear Gene,

editing /etc/sudoers to my understanding has no effect on 'su' because
the two are different things. I read this recently on debian-users, I

So did I, and my recent experience seems to back that up. But I also had
forgotten you have to reboot to make the logins aware of changes to
sudoers, possibly my mistake?
After 22 years, I'm still learning the details of linux :-)

This second URL showed me how to edit the sudoers file and add this:
amanda ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/opt/trinity/bin/dcop
But it still fails:
root@coyote:~$ su amanda -c "/opt/trinity/bin/dcop --user gene
--all-sessions kmail HTH
Kind regards,
Stefan
