ccurtis : 13/08/02 02:48 PM : Incident created -   Hi it's me again, I'm trying to edit the sudoers file and it clearly states at the top of the file: # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file. # However, I have searched and searched for a sudoers man page and cannot find it or details on how to write a sudoers file. Can someone send me a link to the proper man page? Is there a reason why you can't edit this file with mcedit? Is there a specific format or syntax that must be used? Thanks for ALL your help and advice, Carl Curtis [email protected]
