Using the sudoers, i can make account beeing able to “sudo” with their own password instead of root password.
i have set ~/.config/kdesurc with super-user-command=sudo to make some kde- apps to use sudo for becoming an admin.
But discover will always ask for the root- password. Can i somehow change discover to also use sudo ?
Let’s step back a bit. What’s your desired end goal here?
We are running administrated clients, that are enrolled with freeipa/sssd in a domain environment. Our Admins have to administrate the clients but they do not know the root- password of the machine (at least they should not). Instead they are using the sudoers- method, where they are able to become local root-admin with their password.
Doing the above with kderc does enable this for some other applications. But discover does not seem to use that feature. At least on our clients, its always asking for the root- password (its OpenSuSE Tumbleaweed).
It would be nice, if discover also would respect that setting.
In such an environment, it sounds like you should set up the polkit rules so that certain users (i.e. the admins) can run updates with no password.
