Hi All,

How can I create another SUPERUSER account in Linux (redhat 7.2) than root?

create an user (as I understand it by default it should be under the users group)
type visudo
add a line that says:
%users ALL=(ALL) ALL

or to run stuff without a password:
%users ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL

save it and exit

good luck
