How "deep" is sudo?

[dedanna1029]

Can all this sudo b.s. be removed from Ubuntu/Linux Mint, and root password be required for root processes and commands? Or is it too well "integrated" in too many "deep" layers?

Edit, Note: I want to be able to uninstall sudo altogether, and require root password for all root processes/commands.

I'm also a tad distressed at this. Having enabled a root user...

Code: Select all

.:[ dedanna@dedanna : 11:42:27 : ~ ]:.
dedanna ~ # su -
dedanna ~ #

Look at the prompt. It's not root@hostname. It's my user@hostname.

Answered my own question, partially. I just went into Users & Groups, and changed everyone to standard users. It asks for the root password now to do root functions, but it still in terminal, gives myname@myhostname prompt, rather than root@myhostname.
