I know that if you want to get root permissions on another user you can just do sudo su -l

But is there a way for me to set permission for a user so that they have root permissions without having to use sudo

The way I would like it is - the moment the user logs in without having to type any addition commands has root permission

Is this possible any help would be great
thanks

you can add them to sudoers and do something like this

# Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


were %wheel = the user you want or the group you want, to use the commands, then you'd just have to do "sudo (whatever program)" and it won't ask you for a passwd

Thats a workaround for ya somewhat.
