I'm kinda confused by the sudo problem I'm having. I've
edited the
main file with visudo to include:
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
markh ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
(obviously only the last line was my addition)
But for some reason, it makes no difference at all. I'm still
required to input my password. What gives? I've not had this
problem before so I don't know where to start.
Wild guess: try
cat -vet /etc/sudoers
This should show if you have any unexpected control characters in your
file (tab is shown as ^I, and the line feed at the end of a line by $).
Hope this helps,
James.
