I am using Ubuntu Maverick
What I am trying is the following: I have a user named administrator is in the admin group and has sudo rights, and one user named handler in group handler without sudo rights.
In Softwarecenter and many other tools it works perfectly.
When I am logged into user handler, Softwarecenter ask me for the password of user administrator. Only sudo, gksu and therefore synaptic asks me for the password of user handler and as a result, does not work.
I don't want, that the regular user can make system-things with HIS password, he has to know the password of administrator do do this.
In Debian I have 2 Passwords. Thats good, but it is possible for user root to interactively log in. This is better in Ubuntu but there I have only one password and thats bad.
Is there any way to tell sudo to run as user administrator when handler calls ist? How does Softwarecenter do this?
Is there any sollution to prevent the regular user to do system administration as long as he don't know a second password?
A whole thanks ia, BigOtto :)
