[Bdi4emc-help] sudo

   initially this did not work,  i unchecked the "administrator" in the
   "user and groups" dialog, and now it works.  perhaps that makes sense,
   but it is odd or a bug.

i have been running the emc-1.01 version.   when i execute the ".run"
file, i am prompted for the sudo password and at if i run the machine
for a little while, i am also prompted when i exit.

.the old bdi system never prompted me for sudo passwords and i would
like this new system to work the same way, but i would prefer not to run
as root.  do you know the fix?  i did compile the system as root if that
makes any difference.

As root, edit the /etc/sudoers file adding a line similar to:

david  ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL

Note - This will allow you (or anyone else with your login) to be able to run 
_any_ command as root. Please be careful when prepending sudo to a command.
