All changes to the /etc/sudoers file should be made with the `visudo` command. `visudo` will edit the file (using whatever editor you have specified with $EDITOR or $VISUAL), make sure things are consistent, etc. It's a good idea not to edit it directly, but to go in through `visudo` just to get the checks that it provides. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
