Group Rights

[w33mhz]

Does anyone know if there is a local group I can add a local user account to so that they have the ability to create/delete user accounts but NOT be root or use sudo?

Why wouldn't you use sudo for this?

 

[w33mhz]

well pretty much I am scripting this out and I am trying to avoid using passwords in plain text.

ok I figured it out, I found how to sudo with the user without prompting for a password.

Just for Future Reference:

<username>   localhost = NOPASSWD:</path/cmd1>,</path/cmd2>,etc.. PASSWD:</path/cmd3>

Oops forgot to mention that is in the /etc/sudoers file.
