I have add the user ADMIN in file /etc/sudoers.tmp (SEE BELOW) BUT still when I connect to the ADMIN user looks like this: admin@mydomain:/$ and not user ROOT admin@mydomain:~# What do I solve this? I am grateful to those who help me. Thank you.

User privilege specification

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL **admin ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL **

Members of the admin group may gain root privileges

**%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL **

Allow members of group sudo to execute any command

**%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL **

So: sudo chown -R 755 admin and sudo chmod - R 755 admin

Very thank dear!
