Fedora doesn't use sudo by default so no. Unless he has root access in
the first place, he wouldn't be allowed to configure sudo.
I seriously doubt whether any distro would allow it
Well on a Ubuntu system for example, sudo su - and entering your own
password would get your root access if you are first user in the
system. This would allow you to reconfigure sudo however you want.
not only in ubuntu - in any distro, the first user - they guy who installs the
system gets the root password. And unless he gives it to anyone else, no one
else has it. Ubuntu just has a weird way of doing this.
btw, I find that pressing 'reply' to any message from you to the list results
in a private message to you - can you not change that for list mail. I
remember once pressing reply, and you were not happy to have the discussion
offlist - and I never realised it had gone offlist.
