No write access with sudo
Hi all. I recently figured out how to get my sudoers file working so that i can use truecrypt. I can mount my encrypted volumes just fine no problem. However i cant write anything, its only read access. This is my sudoers file conf thus far.
When i try to copy something to the volume i get this errorCode:User_Alias MAINTAINERS = user Cmnd_Alias DEB = /usr/bin/truecrypt, /usr/bin/truecrypt --core-service root ALL=(ALL) ALL MAINTAINERS ALL = DEB
What do i need to add to my sudoers file so that i have write access? Thanx in advance!Error "Access denied" while copying "/home/user...op/list.txt".

i was of the opinion that sudoers file gives a normal user the privilege to run commands that only the super user can .
for example to run truecrypt as user dellthinker
you type sudo truecrypt
i do not think sudoers will assign you permissions for super user to that particular file or directories.

Under Root line in Sudoers file type in
Just realized you are trying to write to encrypted file system. I don't think my advice will work for that.Code:<your user name> ALL = NOPASSWD : ALL
