Sudoers

Sudoers is a module for Unix-style operating systems to set user privileges from a file listing users of the system and what sorts of access privileges they each have. It is based on the sudo command to set privileges for a single user. The user file for this module is normally stored in /etc/sudoers. It can also be configured via the networked data protocol LDAP.
