[NTLUG:Discuss] Using SUDO

[Jason Ferguson]

I've tried man sudo and man sudoers, but they go into so much detail
that it isnt really geared towards a simple moethod of doing the job.

Anyhow, here's what I ended up doing (my /etc/sudoers file):
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification
User_Alias      APTERS = (my user name)

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias      APT = /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
APTERS  ALL=APT

Hopefully that will do the job.
