If you edit sudoers via visudo there is a syntax checking. If you do something wrong in /etc/sudoers.d/a, there is no syntax checking and the your user gets locked out: $ sudo -i >>> /etc/sudoers.d/a: syntax error near line 1 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/a near line 1 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin Cheers, tamas -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
