daBee Jan 31, 2016 #1 I've entered a user for sudoers: Code: alex ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Unfortunately it replies with Sorry upon trying su. Is this the right syntax? Any insight appreciated.

T tobik@ Developer Jan 31, 2016 #2 Yes, but su != sudo. They are two distinct programs and su does not know about/read sudoers. If you did something wrong in sudoers, you would get a message like this with sudo instead of Sorry: alex is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. Click to expand...
