cant add user to sudo group in centOS 7 i386(no GUI,Its minimal)
I had install centOS 7 minimal version in my virtualbox in Ubuntu mate. It has no GUI. It is totally CLI. My user name is Smit and able to login in to it. But when i type command
sudo yum update
and enter my password, it says
Smit is not in sudoers files. This incident will be reported.
But when I try to add my user to sudo group by command
adduser Smit sudo
gives something like this:
(I am unable to copy-paste via virtual-box. I do this by login in root.)

I don't know why your command doesn't work. It may have to do with either:
- your CentOS not using sudo by default
- the way the sudoers file should be edited
- the syntax of
addusercommand on that particular machine.
Apparently, and it is my guess, it's first of all a matter of the last point.
Anyhow, the easiest way is to add the user to the wheel group, which should have sudo priviliges on your CentOS. Try out this command:
usermod -aG wheel Smit
This of course has to be done by root. Once successfully executed, change identity to Smit and check if you can sudo.
su - Smit
sudo yum update
As an alternative, you can use visudo. Adding this line should do:
Smit ALL=(ALL) ALL
But here's a guide with a few more details if you're interested.

I've run into the exact same situation with OP. Tried the same command and got the same result.
Then I used
usermod -aG sudo Smit
and got the result
The group "sudo" does not exist.
I think that is the reason adduser Smit sudo dose not work -- The group "sudo" does not exist yet!
The following command to add the user to the "wheel" group does work.
usermod -aG wheel Smit
But at this point, switching to user Smit and trying sudo still failed! I have to do one more thing. Use visudo to open and edit the /etc/sudoers file. Make sure that the line that starts with %wheel is not commented. It should look exactly like this:
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
That is the final step to set up set up the account and now everything is OK.
