I am trying to automate the build of my redhat server.
To add an existing user to sudoer:
Add user to sudoers file by using sudo visudo and add the following
line:
USERNAME ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
How do I perform above task using RedHat commands?
One way would be just to add username ALL = NOPASSWD:ALL to the end of /etc/sudoers.
echo "username ALL = NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

On my machine i'm getting "root#umar" that I want to change to "root#junaid". I have tried running different commands. They do change my username but above mentioned name is not changing.
See in above image. User I'm logged in as is "Junaid". But before that there is "root#umar" that I want to be changed to "root#junaid". Solutions I have tried change my current username that I'm loggedIn as.
Any solution?
"umar" is the hostname. So you should change it to get prompt like "root#junaid"
To do this on the fly you should exec next command:
sudo hostname junaid
sudo vi /etc/hostname
(to update the hostname there)
and the same in hosts file
sudo vi /etc/hosts
If you run commands as root you do not need to have sudo

Does sudoers file required to restart to take changes effect. If yes, then how we can restart? without resarting the system.
If your question is : "do I need to restart my machine if I add someone in the sudoers file ?" the answer is : No, you don't need to restart, the newly user added in the sudoers will be able to use sudo as soon as you save the file.

How can I configure Linux to see the prompt for the root password if Sam try to execute the following command: $ sudo mkdir /opt/test?
If Sam is part of sudoers, the terminal ask for the user password not for the root password.
In /etc/sudoers, add this line:
Defaults rootpw

I edited suders file with permission 440
testsudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/adduser
but, when i use command
sudo adduser test
with user testsudo, linux ask me testsudo's password.
however, i edited suders file with testsudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
it works.
why?
Because it's
/usr/sbin/adduser
not
/usr/bin/adduser
But this really doesn't belong on SO. Voting to close.

I am trying to run a project that requires user to be in procmod group.
What is it, and how do I add a user to that group?
Use following command to add user to procmod group
sudo chgrp procmod executablepath
Apple script
do shell script "sudo chgrp procmod executablepath" with administrator privileges
procmod user can use task_for_pid function (Tiger os).
From taskgated -- task_for_pid access control daemon
the old (Tiger) convention that a process with a primary effective
group of procmod or
procview is allowed to get task ports
