Description aguador 2016-09-13 00:33:26 CEST

When installing, checking the box to obtain su rights for a user by adding him/her to the wheel group fails to create the needed 01wheel file. The group file is correctly modified to add the user to the "wheel:x:10:" line. However, no 01wheel file is created in /etc/sudoers.d, so user is left without su rights.

I have encountered this twice on installing to on an i5 laptop with a fresh install of E20. Both times using a live CD to create the file corrected the problem.

Being in wheel group & having sudo for wheel by default are two different things.
IMHO this is a sudo bug if we want the later.

I just did a fresh net installation of sta2 with E21 on a Pentium M machine with the same results: my user account was added to the wheel group, but no /etc/sudoers.d folder was created nor, of course, the 01wheel group.
