FreeBSD: Install sudo Command To Execute A Command As The Root

I think that sudo is become a wide used command with Ubuntu, where you don’t even have a root password, before that probably it was used only in some data-centers to restrict access to some commands.

sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers file.

GTK Theme Preferences is available in the Shimmer Project PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. Add the PPA and install it using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shimmerproject/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gtk-theme-config

The commands are for Linux system and I have a FreeBSD System . So my question is how can I istall on FreeBSD ?

I want to be able to run a command, it fails cause it doesn't have proper permissions. Then I can write "please" to sudo the command I just ran.

Here's what I want to do in the terminal:

$ run command "you don't have access to do that" $ please "ran successfully"

I saw that !!

I just installed ubuntu on my netbook and am loving it!!

What I’m now trying to do is set up my root account. I tried to run the following command at a command prompt:

su root

and use the password for the main account i set up during the install process. but that didn't work.

I am currently using Ubuntu 11.10. My HDD has been frequently used for more than 5 years now. When I try to use the sudo command, or execute a command as root, I receive a message stating that the filesystem is read-only.

I am using ubuntu11.10 and i was trying to do the update to 12.04, i found a post suggesting to use to solve part of the problem: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-keyring sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install ubuntu-keyringI ran the first command but not able to run the second or any sudo or apt-get command.

How can i reinstall them?

thnx
