Question
Change Ownership of a folder
Hi Guys am trying to change ownership of a dir using this command:
“sudo chown -R test:test test/”.
However, am getting this message “ forge is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. ”
I don’t know what this means can you please help?
Thanks
Yomi

You are trying to sudo with a user which is not in the sodoers file.
Try to run visudo as root and add the user (test) to the list by adding the following line:
test ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Now re-login with the user test and sudo should be working properly.

Please note that adding a user test to allow to sudo might not be the best solution from a security perspective. I hope your password for this user is strong.

This problem as ITNerdbox said, will be solved by adding test user in visudo. Good job ITNerdbox.
