In general, consider making a backup of config files before editing. Here's a sudo mini course: - Consider what needs to run as root and only run that command with sudo. - To edit a file: sudoedit file - Sometimes it's just easier to to run a shell as root: sudo -s For documentation: - man sudo - man sudoers > Alright, enough fooling around.

Wow, I didn't know most is still around. I remember using it a long time ago but I've stuck with less. I guess mostly because it's a lot more likely to be available than most as I use Linux systems that I don't manage myself as well... Anyways, the mc manual says mc uses the builtin viewer unless "Use internal view" option is disabled, otherwise it uses PAGER or VIEWER. Seems to work for me for both less and most.
