[ubuntu-za] Sudoer file

[Bill Cairns]

I have a small home server (12.04 server) and everything runs well.

There are two users registered on the server. The one (bill) I created some
time after installation. I can log into it with no problems but cannot do
any privileged commands using sudo. eg:

bill at cairnmarsh:~$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for bill:
bill is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
bill at cairnmarsh:~$


What is a sudoers file and how do I get bill onto it?

Thanks,
  Bill
