I want to install an rpm as a regular user. As root I used visudo to
edit the /etc/sudoers file and added this entry:
martini1 ALL=(root) /bin/rpm
I then ran this
# :/home/martini1[34]% sudo -l
Password:
User martini1 may run the following commands on this host:
(root) /bin/rpm

# rpm -ivh opera-8.50-20050916.5-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm
