Possibly you have to add yourself to the sudoers file: it's in /etc/sudoers -- best edit it (as root) with visudo. Make sure there is an entry (perhaps there is one) like %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL (that means that users belonging to the sudo group may do everything can do; you can refine permissions if you want) Then add yourself to the sudo group. As root, do adduser <yourself> sudo You'll need to login again for the changes to take effect. regards - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlbtwOoACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYkKACeJtrFBGS35xR2WfVw70/DxXkS ZFgAn0tqPSzyKobLictieil+6fWaDKh6 =Fnx4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
