I was merely asking, because I'm new to Devuan. In Gentoo, I either
"su -" to root, or set a very controlled command that is enabled in a
file in /etc/sudoers.d/<somefilename> which is edited with the command
"visudo /etc/sudoers.d/<somefilename>". The syntax is rather strict,
and edits are not comitted if the "visudo" wrapper discovers a syntax
error.
