The "sudo" package is a program designed to allow a system administrator to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow system users to complete their work.
Verify RHEL 10 has the "sudo" package installed with the following command:
$ sudo dnf list --installed sudo Installed Packages sudo.x86_64 1.9.15-8.p5.el10_0.2 @rhel-10-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
If the "sudo" package is not installed, this is a finding.
Configure RHEL 10 to have the "sudo" package installed with the following command:
$ sudo dnf -y install sudo
