Hi all, I hope you all don't get upset because of my question, but someone (I knew it was my admin) always restart my login in my networking area while I'm working. I just wanna know how to sudo the admin, then change his passw ? I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. I use sudo very frequently and I rarely use su. First, you must set up the /etc/sudoers file (this should be owned by root and in root's group), rw owner, r group, and no permissions for others. You should use the visudo command to edit the /etc/sudoers file. There are samples in the initial sudoers file. Then, you can use sudo anytime you have a system command to perform: sudo shutdown
Sudo will then prompt you for your password, then execute the command.
You can also spawn a shell:
sudo bash
