Dominic, thanks for you explanations. What are the proposed workarounds? E.g. in my case I need to run few Perl scripts under root (at least to elevate to "disk" group), which are called by Cacti grapher to collect S.M.A.R.T HDD information. Is /etc/sudoers the right way for that? -- With best regards, Dmitry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
