Dan, Other people have responded with how to repair your system: su, chmod 0440 ... But I wanted to mention visudo (/usr/sbin/visudo). It exists to catch errors like yours before they end up breaking the system. It requires learning a little bit of how to edit with vi, but I'd argue that that's good knowledge to have if you're going to be mucking with things as root. Hope that helps (at least for the future) -dave _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
