In order to create a wheel user, that can switch to root when needed, you first have to create a normal user with the following command: # adduser new_user_name Assign the account a password with: # passwd new_user_name Then add the account to the wheel group in the /etc/group file in the following line: wheel:x:10:root,append_new_user_here Please note: The group ID number may be different on your system. Leave it as is on your system. | |
