Posted in Debian, Tips by kenno on January 27, 2009

You need to have root access to do that. So the first step to become root with the following command:

ken@debian:~$ su
Password:
debian:/home/ken# visudo

Now you can add a username to the list. For example:

ken ALL=(ALL) ALL

Save the file to complete the process.
