Admin user setup #237

Closed danman01 closed 7 years ago

danman01 commented 7 years ago

We noticed today in lm01 that students needed to adjust their user accounts to be admin users. After doing that, they were in the sudoers file and could do the installfest tasks. Might be worth mentioning near the top to make sure we are working with an admin level user.

Another instance of needing sudo was when we chowned a directory. We needed to append sudo to get our admin user to own /usr/local:

chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local

should be:

sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
