Make sure there is an entry (perhaps there is one) like %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
or # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL ric ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Note only root and user5 ric has permissions to sudo
(that means that users belonging to the sudo group may do everything can do; you can refine permissions if you want) Then add yourself to the sudo group. As root, do adduser <yourself> sudo You'll need to login again for the changes to take effect.The OP probably didn't install sudo.
Heh, that will help immensely! Ric -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity. Only the former may be overcome." R.I.P. Dad. http://linuxcounter.net/user/44256.html
