Guys,
Got the sudo update with the new sudoers file, Noticed new %sudo group designation along with the traditional %wheel:
## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command # %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
Any reason that we would want a sudo group instead of using wheel?
Upstream made the change so it is just being passed along. No idea why but "sudo" does seem a better name for a group of sudoers than "wheel"...
Even though wheel is historic[1] I agree that sudo is a better name for the group. /M [1]: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wheel_%28Unix_term%29 -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
