Enable updates for a single user

[Mike Burger]

You could give him access via sudo.

username     ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD:/bin/rpm
username     ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/yum

Then, all he has to do is issue:

sudo /bin/rpm -ivh package-he-wants.to.install.rpm

sudo /usr/bin/yum update

sudo /usr/bin/yum package-he-wants.to.install
