How to make a normal user can install package with pkg_add
on FreeBSD?
pkg_add -r
command fails with normal user with sudo
. Downloading succeeds, but installation fails with this error message. Equal command executed successfully with root
login.
%sudo pkg_add -r apache22
Password:
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/Latest/apache22.tbz: Syntax error, command unrecognized
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/Latest/apache22.tbz' by URL

Assume my username as eonil
.
I added
eonil ALL=(ALL) ALL
code as next of
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
via visudo
, and added the user to wheel
group by
pw usermod eonil -G wheel
. But the user cannot install package with sudo pkg_add -r apache22
. (not only the apache, any package.)
