how to enable sudo on fc5?? or it can't be done?
M mehulved 18 Till I Die............ Oct 15, 2006 #22 Should should be already there on FC. But I think it's not properly configured. You have to configure it using the following command Code: visudo In the highly unlikely case, it isn't there then you can install the package 'sudo' using your package manager.
