sudo allows privilege escalation for non root users to perform restricted actions while in a locked down user environment.

root # emerge sudo

The sudo configuration file is located @ /etc/sudoers.

user $su -c 'nano /etc/sudoers'

Remove the # in the line....

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Add your user to the wheel group to enable sudo:

user $ su -c 'gpasswd -a $USER wheel'

Either log out, and in again or restart:

user $ su -c 'shutdown -r now'

Users that want bash completion with sudo need to run this once.

user $ echo "complete -cf sudo" >> $HOME/.bashrc
