197 | The <filename>sudoers</filename> file can be quite complicated. It
|
---|
198 | is composed of two types of entries: aliases (basically variables) and
|
---|
199 | user specifications (which specify who may run what). The installation
|
---|
200 | installs a default configuration that has no privileges installed for any
|
---|
201 | user.

205 | One example usage is to allow the system administrator to execute
|
---|
206 | any program without typing a password each time root privileges are
|
---|
207 | needed. This can be configured as:
|
---|
208 | </para>

210 | <screen># User alias specification
|
---|

222 | The <application>Sudo</application> developers highly recommend

223 | using the <command>visudo</command> program to edit the

224 | <filename>sudoers</filename> file. This will provide basic sanity
