Linux-Noob Forums - Virtural users

Hi folks,

CentOS 4.4 amd64 - server

I follow following howto building "Virtual Users"

Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS

[/url][url=http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_po...r_clamav_centos]http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_po...r_clamav_centos

I started "screen" recording all typing/keystrokes and output on the Terminal.

"sudo" sometimes requested for password. root password did not work. Another time it worked without requesting password. I can't understand WHY.

If root password did not satisfy the request I have to run "su" or "su -" to proceed. After executing commands ran "exit" to exit.

$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | tail

Code:
# Same thing without a password

# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

# Samples

# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom

# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

satimis ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

vmail  ALL=(ALL)  ALL

$ cat /etc/group | grep satimis

Code:
wheel:x:10:root,satimis

satimis:x:500:

On runing; (page 1)

Code:
sudo rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.58.tar.bz2

root password did not work. I have to run;

Code:
$ su -

Password

# rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.58.tar.bz2

After compiling;

cd $HOME/rpm/RPMS/x86_64

can't find the directory.

On reading "screenlog.0" it was found;

The rpm packagaes were created on "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64" NOT on "$HOME/rpm/RPMS/x86_64".

Pls advise how to fix the problems.

Create "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64" and copy all rpm packages created to this directory?

TIA
