But then again, I hate sudo :P I do most scripting that requires root access via root logins directly with ssh and keys.</blockquote><div> i completely agree and do mostly the same; it would be a good idea (or at least, imho better than an option to add the user to wheel group) to have a "generate dsa keypair and add to root authorized_keys" checkbox during firstboot user creation. Then just ssh -X for your daily "needed" root tasks guido </div></div> -- Guido Grazioli <<a href="mailto:guido.grazioli@gmail.com">guido.grazioli@gmail.com</a>> Via Parri 11 48011 - Alfonsine (RA) Mobile: +39 347 1017202 (10-18) Key FP = 7040 F398 0DED A737 7337 DAE1 12DC A698 5E81 2278 Linked in: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/guidograzioli">http://www.linkedin.com/in/guidograzioli</a>
