Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
This is my output ounder Precise. Man page says:
ALLOWING OTHER USERS TO RUN SUDO
By default, only the user who installed the system is permitted to run
sudo. To add more administrators, i. e. users who can run sudo, you
have to add these users to the group 'admin' by doing one of the folâ
lowing steps:
* In a shell, do
sudo adduser username admin
* Use the graphical "Users & Groups" program in the "System settings"
menu to add the new user to the admin group.
But there is no admin group, the only group name with admin in it is lpadmin
