Title: Re: Question regarding administrator access on an NDT/perfsonar computer

I apologize, for sending a second message.

 

This is not the Live-CD, this is with our own built version of perfsonar/NDT.  We cannot run the LiveCD due to security policies.  And we have to run a distribution where it has supported patching, such as RHEL, Ubuntu, etc.  So we are running RHEL 5 desktop.

Hi Scott;

Can you give us a little more background on this?  Are you having a 
specific problem?

If you used the bootable CD NPToolkit ISO image, then you do have both 
root access and sudo access on that system.  I don't believe that 
there are any restrictions or issues with using sudo on a system 
booted with this ISO image.
