Create a video tutorial on how to configure sudo in openSUSE using YaST

completed by: Calin

mentors: Efstathios Agrapidis

The default installation of openSUSE asks for the root password when using sudo. The student will create a video tutorial showing how to configure sudo in openSUSE using the YaST administration tool in order to change the default behaviour asking the user's password. Finally, he or she will create a new user and give him root privilages but without giving him the root password. An update from the command line by the new user will prove that everything worked well.

The following links can be really helpful:

The final video should have subtitles in .srt or other easy to translate format.
