-===== Allow a User to use sudo =====
-Use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers, it uses the system default editor, which is normally vi or vim if it's installed:
-  [root@machine ~]# visudo
-==== Using Groups ====
-Uncomment the line:
-  # %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
-Then add your user to the wheel group:
-  [root@machine ~]# adduser <username> wheel
-==== Individual Users ====
-Add a new line which specifies the user:
-  adam        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
-Now the user specified by <username> will be able to use the sudo command.
