All my pis until now allow me to get root privileges by doing 'sudo -i' without entering my password. One I have just installed does request my password when I do 'sudo -i'. Can anyone suggest why this new one acts differently? I have checked that /etc/sudoers is the same on the new system as on all others. I have also checked that my user is in all the same groups in /etc/group. All systems are running the latest Raspbian with kernel 6.12.75. -- Chris Green ·
