Creating a super user with root privileges

If you want a user to perform root task but do not want to share root user, Is this possible my answer is yes its possible in LINUX using sudo. you can create a sudo user to do all task what root user can do.

Sudo is a program which can be used by normal users to execute programs as super user or any other user. Sudo access is controlled by /etc/sudoers. The users listed in /etc/sudoers file can execute commands with an effective user id of 0 and a group id of root's group.



The file '/etc/sudoers' should be edited with the editor "visudo".

First, create a user called "tecgeeks"

#useradd tecgeeks
#passwd tecgeeks


Now Edit the file with visudo or /etc/sudoers as follows:

# visudo

# vi /etc/sudoers

Go down to the line # User privilege specificationand add the following line.

tecgeeks ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
