sudo not working

Hi all

When I use

Code:

sudo [command]

I get error:

Code:

user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported

I'm sure its something simple....

Also, I wanted to add another user to my box, how would I accolpish this? This user will only be playing MP3's and surfing the net so admin priv's are needed.

Thanks

Hong

Yep, it's something simple.

from the command-line,
man sudo
will show you the manual page for the sudo command.
It will also tell you how to authorize users.

Are you running KDE? If so, then type 'man:sudo' into
the location bar of konqueror, and it will display a nice
html-formated man page.

Hint: you need to add your login into the /etc/sudoers file.

Cheers
