FreeBSD Install sudo Command To Execute Commands

To install the sudo command on a FreeBSD system, you will need to do the following:

1. Update the system's package database by running the following command:

# pkg update

2. Install the sudo package using the pkg package manager:

# pkg install sudo

This will install the sudo command on your FreeBSD system.

To configure sudo, you will need to edit the /usr/local/etc/sudoers file.

For example, to allow a user foo to execute the reboot command as the root user, you can add the following line to the /usr/local/etc/sudoers file:

foo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

This will allow the user foo to execute the reboot command using sudo without being prompted for a password.

To use sudo, you can run the sudo command followed by the command you want to execute.

For example, to execute the reboot command as the root user, you can use the following command:

$ sudo reboot

This will execute the reboot command as the root user.

For more information about using and configuring the sudo command on a FreeBSD system, you can refer to the sudo man page by running man sudo on the command line.
