Enable sudo user for a user

To make it a user capable of performing sudo, add him to the admin group using either of the following commands:

#sudo usermod -a -G admin <username>
#sudo adduser <username> admin

This works because the admin group is predefined in /etc/sudoers. Note though that newer versions of Ubuntu will use sudo as group instead:
