Need to change permissions
Hi everyone,
There are couple of users of which i need to give 2 of the users admin rights so that they are able to run the administration commands like "zoneadm" and locale.
When logged in as root i am obviously able to do that.please suggest any way by which the other 2 user's permissions can be changed so that they too are able to run the above commands.

NOTES
YP/NIS, NIS+ and LDAP users should be aware that it's possible to have conflict with users configured in here with the result that an error
will occur.
You should ensure that local user's home accounts are located on local filesystems - e.g. creating a new entry in /home when it's mounted
with automount will not work and as such the user may not be created.
