So you need to give them root perms. Add them to the wheel group, enable wheel in the sudoers file and use sudo.

@hobbit666 usermod -aG wheel username

vi /etc/sudoersCorrect. visudo is the "right" way to do it. So of course I never do.

@scottalanmiller Your hard work has paid off Scott. I was right one time

guess as root?

@hobbit666 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Yes. All admin tasks need root perms. Or else normal users could give themselves admin privs whenever they wanted.

I was replying, but this

ur where the hell do I add my user to that file lol!

CentOS is not a sudo by default OS so you have to set it up here. CentOS assumes that you will use root directly or will set up whatever security you plan to use. NTG scripts this to make it fast and easy along with account creation, key deployment, base packages, etc.

usermod -aG sudo usernamewill add the user to the sudo group -

You don't. You enable wheel. Scroll down and look. There are two sample lines about wheel. They are commented out. You uncomment one of them, I prefer the one that has "nopassword". Only unfomment one of them.
After that wheel access works.

wheel = admin group in Linux

Snowing today!
Lucky! It's 28F here this morning, not a cloud in sight. Just cold.
Not to be a Grinch, but snow is the worst. All it does is complicate my life by making my commute even worse and causing a lot of accidents.
Eh people who can't drive cause accidents. Snow just identifies those people. The only time I like snow is if we have enough to go riding.
I live in NJ. No one can drive here. Ask @scottalanmiller
I live in NY... can't decide who is worse: NJ drivers and Massholes

Texans. Worst drivers I've ever seen. Rude, erratic, sloppy and SO SLOW.
