          Daughter (five year old) woke up crying with a fever and a hugely swollen neck. On our way to the clinic.

          Hope she feels better 😞

                  Same as Windows. If you want to do admin tasks you need to be an admin.

                  So you need to give them root perms. Add them to the wheel group, enable wheel in the sudoers file and use sudo.

                          sudoers. I think the command is visudo

                          or

                          vi /etc/sudoers

                            That just sounds rude 🙂

                              or

                              vi /etc/sudoers

                              Correct. visudo is the "right" way to do it. So of course I never do.

                                    Yes. All admin tasks need root perms. Or else normal users could give themselves admin privs whenever they wanted.

                                          CentOS is not a sudo by default OS so you have to set it up here. CentOS assumes that you will use root directly or will set up whatever security you plan to use. NTG scripts this to make it fast and easy along with account creation, key deployment, base packages, etc.
