Hi,
Edit the /etc/sudousers file by "visudo" command as root.
In this file below User_Alias specification, give the user name to make
superuser like the one below :-
User_Alias ADMINS = username
Also write below root :
ALL = (ALL) ALL
ADMINS ALL = ALL
Thats it. Now save and quit. If no errer occurs, then it will definitely work.
To check the configuration, login as that user and write :
sudo -l
It will prompt you for the password. Specify and check the output.
For any further help, you can always check man sudo
Cheers!
Amar
