the command 'visudo' should be used to edit the sudoers file according to the man page. "visudo edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion, analogous to vipw(8). visudo locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits, provides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors. If the sudoers file is currently being edited you will receive a message to try again later." - -- Daryl Styrk Naples, FL USA -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoWfXEACgkQ6baBhW8CzrhsqACfUxX6TZKYaqsyBaru2Ekjk/NR CQoAn0ll2BWCNXIyfojLWzRZXIu18Xxo =LWmH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
