I was wondering how I can set up from the Command Line another Administrator?

I tried the help that you gave me with the visudo and I do not understand how I can make more enteries to the file.

generally http://www.e-smith.org/cgi-bin/contrib.cgi

specifically

Alternately
daniel van raay has a contrib rpm that optionally gives sudo access in addition.
sudo gives a user root privileges by prefixing the command with sudo
eg. sudo tail /var/log/messages
