sudoers list

How do I put myself in the sudoers list?? Apparently I'm not in it, even on my own laptop!

You use visudo as root and add yourself.

Code:

visudo

edit this lines:

Code:

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands

%wheel        ALL=(ALL)      ALL

and add yourself to the whell group.

Code:

gpasswd -a myusername whell

Alternativly you can change it to:

Code:

myusername ALL=(ALL) ALL

Then you don't need to add yourself to the wheel group

Thanks. But once modified as you said: how do I save it? Can't seem to get out, and the man page doesn't offer much help.

visudo uses the text editor vi. man vi or man vim.
you can also write vimtutor to learn how to use it.

If you are impatient:

Code:

i - enter the write mode

esc - exit the write mode

esc + :wq - write and exit
