Question bout Sudo

Asked by Trevor

-I am running Ubuntu 7.10-

If I want to give a user the ability to start and stop DNS, how would I go about doing so using Sudo.
Using "user1" as the user for this scenario, what syntax would I need to use to edit the /etc/sudoers file to allow user1 this ability, and what is the command to start and stop DNS from the command line?

Hello

You need to use visudo command as root to edit /etc/sudoers file

Here is a sample sudoers file that can give you more info: Ref:
