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

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.)
