using sudo visudo
Authored by: aelana on Jan 03, '02 09:35:54AM

Note, as with anything potentially destructive, make a backup copy of the file (in this case /etc/sudoers)... (if for some reason things get mudged up, you can always enable root and copy the file back).

Ok once you are in the visudo editor, you will want to arrow down to the last line of the file and type $a then press <return> then type %admin ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/renice then hit <esc> and type :wq and press <return>, if all goes well you should be back at the command prompt.
