I have read the docs and searched the forums and it seems very simple. if you want a user to sudo; they need to be added to the 'wheel' group but 'wheel' must not be the primary group. Now when I first created this account I added wheel as it's primary group bc its my main account and I didn't know about the su requirement. I have since changed it but I still cannot su. Am I missing something?
Code:
[ebright@storage] ~> id uid=1003(ebright) gid=1003(users) groups=1003(users),0(wheel) [ebright@storage] ~> su root Password: su: Sorry [ebright@storage] ~> sudo su We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. Password: Sorry, user ebright is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/su' as root on storage.h ome. [ebright@storage] ~>
