Help Needed Editing Sudoers File

[Rubicone]

I need to allow 3 users designated as the leaders for vaious projects the ability to add new users. Now this can be achieved using the sudo command (eg. sudo -u jsmith useradd). But for this to work the sudoers file needs to be edited and I don't know quite how to do that. If anyone has knowledge and can provide some examples that would be great. TIA.

sudoers has a very extensive manpage with plenty of examples. It might be as simple as:

jsmith ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

This should allow jsmith to sudo any command without entering a password. This does seem rather extreme in opening up the entire system to jsmith. You can limit what jsmith does. Again, I suggest you do a man sudoers. Good luck. -mk
