sudo 1.7.0 (Default branch)
Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis, it is not a replacement for the shell.License: BSD License (revised)Changes:
This release includes a rewritten parser that eliminates ordering issues that affected previous versions. The new parser also supports an #include facility. A new flag, -g, allows the user to specify a group/gid to run the command as, and the -l (list) option can now be used by root to list other users' permissions. This release also adds support for /etc/nsswitch.conf, which allows vendors to ship an LDAP-enabled sudo without having LDAP on by default.Image

sbuild-adduser

SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)						   Debian sbuild						 SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)

NAME

       sbuild-adduser - add an sbuild user

SYNOPSIS

       sbuild-adduser [-h|--help | -V|--version] USER1 [USER2 [USERn...]]

DESCRIPTION

       sbuild-adduser  adds the specified users to the sbuild group, granting them the privelege to build packages with sbuild(1).  The schroot(1)
       configuration must permit the user to obtain root permissions in the chroot via the root-users and  root-groups	options  in  schroot.conf,
       because	this  is  required  to install and remove build-dependencies inside the chroot.  This is normally done using the sbuild group, but
       additional users or groups may be added in order to grant finer-grained permissions, for example to restrict individual users to particular
       chroots.

OPTIONS

   Actions
       -h, --help
	      Display this manual.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information.

   User selection
       USER   The user to be granted sbuild access.

EXAMPLES

       To allow user rleigh sbuild access:

       % sudo sbuild-adduser rleigh
