Some weird things happens - I solved some problems, others no. I will relate, step-by-step, for someone understand how this thing is going on:
1) According WCS repply, I added (and modified) the followings lines in
visudo:
Cmnd_Alias FIRESTARTER=/usr/local/bin/firestarter %users ALL=NOPASSWD:SHUTDOWN,DIAL,SERVER,HW1,MOUNT1,SGMAP,PDMOUNT,SMBMOUNT,
WIFI,SGINFO,FIRESTARTER(used /usr/local/bin/firestarter because the
whereis command told me that firestarter is here...)
Results: no change... BUT I added (in sequence) the following line to
sudoers files (via
visudo):
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL
then I can, in a terminal, do
sudo firestarter without the ask of a password - and it works!
2) Next,
I commented the line in
sudoers file:
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL (
#%admin ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL), and do
sudo firetarter, or
sudo firestarter --start-hidden still works without asking my sudo password (so the hint of WCS worked). Thanks
WCS!
Ok... First problem solved.
The only problem left (that I consider a small problem) is that the firestarter
icon on menu
System, when clicked, still says "Insufficient privileges: You must have root privileges to use Firestarter" (but I can do it by a terminal window, using
sudo
). If anyones know how to fix this, I appreciate some help.
Don't find the firestarter launcher in
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/Firestarter.desktop, WCS, because there is
no apps folder in usr/share/gnome - I assume that is because I'm using
XFCE (in Vector 5.9 Gold) and doesn't installed full desktop gnome (only the necessary deppendecies to run firestarter).
bigpaws: I read the topic that you send, - it's helped a lot to understand the su, sudo and groups structures and uses. Thanks. But I still don't understand why my
sudo password is diferrent from my
su password - because this I added the line
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL to override the ask for a password by sudo - and
strangelly the
sudo firestarter begins to work... Maybe I miss something (not my root or user password, since I modified it (by VASM) to test if was some restrition for them (size,characters,etc) and no problems - except the problem for sudo password). There is something missing, I think. I will try more things later.
Anyway, thanks WCS and bigpaws for the repplies.
