Hi,

If one was to give a laptop to a newbie, say, what would be some useful 
commands to allow them to use with sudo?  I have to set sudo up, but I 
don't want to just allow sudo everything.  I specifically need sudo to 
restart the mwavem daemon, which is the driver for the built-in modem on 
the IBM ThinkPad 600E.  I have noticed it hangs occasionally (after a few 
dialup sessions), and restarting it makes it go again.  I could track down 
the reason for this but at the moment I don't want to, especially as the 
laptop will most likely be turned off between dialup sessions.  If I need 
to provide telephone support I'd rather not have newbie logged in as root 
and making a typo.  I think sudo goes some way to preventing that.

Andy
