   Hi black dog,

   Did you install the "sudo" package?
   It has /etc/sudoers and /usr/sbin/visudo and many more files:

   Thank you. I thought that I would have to install "sudo" package. I was a little embarrassed that the "sudo" command works in slitaz-5.0 by default.

root@slitaz:~# adduser -G sudo tux
adduser: user 'tux' in use


   Why?

   It is not "sudo" command. It's a little fake that can only simulate "sudo" behavior in the next form:

   sudo <command> [<arguments>]

   It never ask you for your user password. It always use only root's password.

   You can open the script /usr/bin/sudo (until you not yet installed the real "sudo") in the text editor. Root's password is saved in your $HOME/.config/slitaz/subox.conf file. It will ask you if it's not saved yet and then will save it to that file. That's all.

   > adduser: user 'tux' in use

   Check your /etc/group file. Looks like user "tux" is already belongs to the "sudo" group:

   type:
       grep ^sudo /etc/group
   result:
       sudo:x:101:tux

   Something went wrong. :(
   

   grep sudo /etc/group
   sudo:x:1000

   I, of course, can edit the /etc/group file, but I'd like to figure out why adduser command does not work.

   Use the different command instead:

   addgroup --help
   ...
   Add a group or add a user to a group
   ...
   
   addgroup tux sudo

   Looks like only this command will help you to add existing user to existing group although I'm not very sure… It works for me.

   Thank you! Happened!
   I tried earlier this command with the -G option and got an error message. In the form of adduser tux sudo the command worked and the tux user appeared in the sudo group.

   PS
   Only now I noticed that I used another command. :)
