Sudo

If you're already familiar with NetBSD, this information may not be particulary new or useful to you. It's not particularly Atari-specific. I do however use this for my own reference when I install NetBSD/atari. Now as a user in group wheel you can run any command as root (eg: "sudo make install") after typing your password when prompted.
 * 1) Make sure to run through the pkgsrc configuration described in the packages section.
 * 2) su to root.
 * 3) cd /usr/pkgsrc/security/sudo
 * 4) make install
 * 5) visudo
 * 6) Uncomment the line that allows members of the group wheel to execute any command (with their password)
 * 7) *%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
 * 8) Save and exit vi.
 * 9) Exit out of root.
