ubuntu help

[Jude DaShiell]

To do something like that, log in as root and type an echo command 
assuming your user account is hank: echo 'hank ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' 
>>/etc/sudoers <enter> then reboot the system and log in as hank.  Once 
done type sudo -H -i <enter>.  Next type exit <enter>.  To run a command 
as root temporarily type: sudo -H command <enter>. On Tue, 29 Mar 2016,
