Re: problems with command su

[Atishay Kumar <atishay.kumar@gmail.com>]

hi,
 try sudo command.
only users listed in /etc/sudoers are allowed to run sudo command. and
u can also specify whether to ask for root password or not. put the
following line /etc/sudoers

username        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

username above will be able to issue all commands like root and
without asking password.

see /etc/sudoers for more.

after making entry for username

try "sudo su" command. it should work if entry was for NOPASSWD
