A few interrelated questions: Is there a port of sudo to FreeBSD that doesn't use crypt? I tried building it on my FreeBSD (2.1) box last night and it complained about not being able to find crypt which, of course, is no surprise. Is there a version around anywhere that uses FreeBSD's alternative to crypt? What must I do to make FreeBSD compatible with sudo? I realize that I must find the DES stuff used in Unix. But what all is involved? Presumeably, I must get all of that stuff and install it (where can I find it and how much is there?). I should think that, if I want sudo to be able to use the regular user passwords then I must also convert them from the normal form (MD5?) to DES form. Is this process documented anywhere? How difficult (and time consuming) is it? Thanks for any help. I'd sure like to be able to use sudo to do simple root things like mount and such without actually su-ing to root every time. I prefer to spend as little time as root as possible. Best, Charlie "Older than dirt" Sorsby "I'm the NRA!" crs@hamlet.lanl.gov Life Member since 1965
