Next, we will emerge sudo, which will allow you to do things as a super user from your own account.
emerge -av app-admin/sudo
Once sudo is installed, you may have to run
etc-update
Now we'll need to add your account to the list of sudoers.
nano -w /etc/sudoers
Find the line that says
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
and just below add
<your username> ALL=(ALL) ALL
and use ctrl-x to exit then save the file. A note about sudo- you can run any command using sudo, so long as you enter "sudo" before the command. Sudo will then ask you for a password. Now that sudo is installed, log out of the root account.
logout
now enter your new credentials to log into the system.
login: <username> password: <your password>
