 Passwordless sudo
 -----------------
 
-Add the following snippet to the sudoers file (for example, to
-```/etc/sudoers.d/vagrant_hostmanager```) to make it stop asking
-password when updating hosts file (replace ```/home/user``` with your
-actual home directory):
+To avoid being asked for the password every time the hosts file is updated,
+enable passwordless sudo for the specific command that hostmanager uses to
+update the hosts file.
 
- Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTMANAGER_UPDATE = /bin/cp /home/user/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local /etc/hosts
- %sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_HOSTMANAGER_UPDATE
+ - Add the following snippet to the sudoers file (e.g.
+ `/etc/sudoers.d/vagrant_hostmanager`):
+
+ ```
+ Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTMANAGER_UPDATE = /bin/cp <home-directory>/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local /etc/hosts
+ %<admin-group> ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_HOSTMANAGER_UPDATE
+ ```
+
+ Replace `<home-directory>` with your actual home directory (e.g.
+ `/home/joe`) and `<admin-group>` with the group that is used by the system
+ for sudo access (usually `sudo` on Debian/Ubuntu systems and `wheel`
+ on Fedora/Red Hat systems).
+
+ - If necessary, add yourself to the `<admin-group>`:
+
+ ```
+ usermod -aG <admin-group> <user-name>
+ ```
+
+ Replace `<admin-group>` with the group that is used by the system for sudo
+ access (see above) and `<user-name>` with you user name.
