1...emerge app-admin/sudo

2...etc-update

3...env-update

4...source /etc/profile

5...useradd 'your user name' -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash

6...passwd 'your user name'

7...visudo
and then correct this lines......
#Defaults env_reset
Defaults:%wheel !env_reset
# Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
(note that any user with wheel grup permisions can SUDO ALL YOUR SYSTEM so avoid makeing wheel-users,only yourself to go online.for ex. i am the only user on my computer and i don't want to go online with root permissions for firewall...so i use another username just to run firewall and otherthings on line as SUDO user)

8.on a Gnome Desktop>Applications>Internet>gnome-ppp...leftclick of mouse>properties>command....>sudo gnome-ppp
same for Firestarter................>command....>sudo firestarter
(This can be done for any Application menu command...OK?)


conclussion:you don't need to fix files.....you don't need to fix grups...you don't need to fix users>>>ALL permissions is for root only and you don't need to remember what you have done to your files (chmod)
If you need to add another user to your computer don't give him wheel permissions(this means from sudo.....ROOT permissions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) :x
