Using kdesu or sudo without password

[Krister Hallerg]

In my fresh install of FC6 I can do what you want to do. Using KDE menu editor I can chage the Software Installer command from "/usr/bin/pup" to "sudo /usr/bin/pup" and at the same time ticking the box for running in terminal. No password requested. I don't know how you do that in Gnome, maybe by editing a *.desktop file?

With my old install I cannot do this. Cannot even open a terminal or console without being asked for a password. And trying the above I get the error message

QUOTE Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified ..... etc UNQUOTE

Will live with my old install until FC7 as it is too much work to do all the custumizations

I want my login jongi to be able to mount and unmount to /mnt/iso using the following script that I call mountiso. I have put it in /usr/bin.

#!/bin/sh

# check parameter
if [ -e $1 ]; then
  umount /mnt/iso/
  mount -t iso9660 -o loop $1 /mnt/iso/
  exit
fi

echo "no file to mount given, exit..."

I think, Jonji, that you posted on the wrong thread.
