Pick a name for a non-root user and add the user. For example:
useradd -m -g users -s /bin/bash archie passwd archieAt this point, you can make the non-root user a “sudoer”. A sudoer can run a command as root by passing it through the sudo command.
- First, install sudo:
pacman -S sudo- Then, add the following lines (within the stared box) to /etc/sudoers (you can omit the comments of course, and replace archie with your user name):
**********************************************************# The basic structure of a user spec looks like this: **# who where = (as_whom) how: what ** archie ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL **Package management **********************************************************This is also a good time to install some essential packages:
pacman -S net-tools pkgfile base-develAnd perhaps your favorite editors:
pacman -S vim emacsYou can also try running a full system upgrade to see if any of your installed packages have new versions:
pacman -Syu
