'sudo' lets you give non-root users the ability to become root for certain commands. Its configuration file is /etc/sudoers, described in the sudoers(5) man page. If I were you I'd ignore the long and detailed description of the format at the top of the man page and skip down to the examples near the bottom. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
