Hi,
I have a firewall GUI called firestarter at the following location:-
/usr/bin/firestarter
This program can be started only by root - so I have added the
following entry in sudoers via visudo:-
testuser localhost=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/firestarter
so the user 'testuser' can start the program as root without having to
enter a password on localhost.
When I do:-
$sudo -l
logged-in as 'testuser', I have the following output:-
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/firestarter
Which is just fine.
**BUT**, when I try to launch the program as 'testuser' on the commad
line - the KDE keep asking me for the root password, just the same as
before I modified my sudoers file!
Cette action est irreversible, confirmez la suppression du commentaire ?

Yes it's fine !
Which is just fine.
**BUT**, when I try to launch the program as 'testuser' on the commad line
What is this command line ? If you enter : # sudo -u testuser /usr/bin/firestarter It doesn't work !! Just login as testuser and enter the command : # sudo /usr/bin/firestarter It will work as expected !
the KDE keep asking me for the root password, just the same as before I modified my sudoers file!
Thanks for your help!
