HOWTO: Creating a sudo user with root powers

A sudo user is grants specific root abilities to user.

This example is how to give a user root powers with the sudo command.

You must be in root to do this.

1. Type " Export VISUAL="vi"
2. Type "visudo"
3. Under #User Privileges type" username ALL=(ALL) ALL

It will look something like this:

#User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
frank ALL=(ALL) ALL

Then esc :wq to save

Now when frank is logged in all he has to do is type sudo before a command and he can do anything a root user can do.
