Problems with Sudo Config

[RobinVossen]

Hi, I tryed to work with sudo for Quite a while now.
I thought I understood how it worked.
But I just figured out I was wrong..
Anywho, I cant make that part with the % groups work..
So my sudoers file is this:

Host_Alias LOCAL = 127.0.0.1
Cmnd_Alias SCRIPT = /bin/mount, /usr/sbin/chroot
Cmnd_Alias NOT = /bin/halt

#Now a part I dont even get.. :S
Defaults requiretty
Defaults env_reset
Defaults env_keep = "(lots of env Variables here)"
#At this point I start understanding it again.
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users LOCAL = NOPASSWD: SCRIPT
%users LOCAL = !NOT

I tryed to make a new group and then run adduser with the -g ### parameter.
That didnt work.
So, well the group users is everybody right?
Well, I make users now with adduser -m $NEWUSERNAME

Why doesnt it work?
Why cant I use the sudo command with every new user?

Well, thanks alot.
Cheers,
Robin

Bump

I tryed a couple of things.
I know for sure that the user is in the Group. Since I did that with webmin.
But I still get, User: isn't allowed to do..

Oh, and when i do sudo -l I get a password prompt
And then I get user isnt allowed any command.

sudo, incredibly useful and a pain in the a$$ at the same time

%users is an example, refering to the group users.

You could add everyone to the users group.

This should give you a list of users on the system

# cat /etc/passwd | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} {if ($3>499) print $1;}'

If your happy with that list do the following to add them all to the users group.

# for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} {if ($3>499) print $1;}'); do usermod -G users $i; done;

Oh, if your using samba and machine accounts change the awk script to this one which ignores usernames ending with a $

awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} {if ($3>499) if ($1 !~ /\$+$/) print $1;}'

In the meanwhile I have fixed it already..
Thanks any how
