View source for Making your DW user a sudo account

This command given in [[Dreamwidth Scratch Installation]] doesn't seem to always work:

 usermod -a -G sudo <i>username</i>

When this happens, trying to use sudo as the dw user can give you this error:

 dw is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

To put your dw user into the sudo group another way, you can also edit the <code>/etc/sudoers</code> file and add a line, depending on which you want.

If you don't want to enter your password during <code>sudo</code> commands, use:

 dw  ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

If you do want to enter your password during <code>sudo</code> commands, use:

 dw ALL = (ALL) ALL
