You also need to install vim because you have to edit the /etc/sudoers
file in order to add a user name. If you display the sudoers file ('cat
sudoers') it will tell you that the file *must* be edited by the visudo
command as root.
exaggeration... that is certainly the safe way to do it, but unless I'm
mistaken, only really dangerous if you have lots of people logging
in/you can't tell the other people not to do so while you are editing
it. vipw stopped working for some strange reason and I have never looked
back :-).
Certainly BETTER to do it that way, no denying that!
