I'm using a 4 years old system, and if I change that line, log out and in again, it changes the env variable and everything works (that means the behavior is probably caused by your configuration). If visudo is still using that configuration, maybe that's because some configuration file has precedence over environment variables. In that case, you gotta find that file and change it. Not an easy task, anyway... I just did an "grep -r /bin/nano" in /etc. LOL, I know there's a better way, I'm just too lazy to look for it... -- Daniel da Veiga
