sudo question

Hi folks,

On running 'sudo'

$ sudo xxxx xxxx
password

It popup for password.

Where shall I add 'root' password.

Besides it is possible creating another password for a named user. That is administrator can login with root password. Another named user can also login but with different password.

Please advise. TIA.

You have to change /etc/sudoers file. You can see how to do it in the sudoers man.
