    I'm running full DRBL mode (Fedora Core 7) and I have a burn in program that need access to the hard drive and memory. I get errors stating that I need to be root to test these devices. I've created a sudo group and added all of the drbl* users to it and can sudo no problem on the local server. When I boot up my thin client the users are not shown in the user/groups widget and can not sudo.

    Thanks

      You have to edit /etc/sudores in the clients. An easier way is you edit one, then use
      /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-cp-host
      to copy it to all of the clients.

        How do I edit the sudoers file on the client without being able to use sudo?

          So you mean you do not have root password ? Like Ubuntu does ?
          Actually 2 options for you:
          1. Set root password of clients in server by:
              /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-client-root-passwd
              Then you can login client's console as root, run "visudo" to edit the sudo users.

          2. Edit /tftpboot/nodes/$IP/et/sudoers manually. (You have to pay attention to its rw permission)
