[Gambas-user] su command

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

1) Is it good idea to add this line to sudoers?

ALL    ALL=(%root)    NOPASSWD:   /home/user/tests.gambas

2) In Madriva 2008 i can run
"sudo /home/user/tests.gambas"

but on Suse 10.2 i get the following error
"/usr/bin/env: gbr2: No such file or directory"

Is these a Suse issue or a Gambas2?

Thanks in advance.
