Hi,
I have following problem with visudo
Linux# visudo -V
visudo version 1.6.5
Linux# type -a vi
vi is /usr/local/bin/vi
Linux# echo $EDITOR
/usr/local/bin/vi
Linux# visudo
visudo: no editor found (editor path = /usr/bin/vi)
after adding 'Defaults editor=/usr/local/bin/vi' into
'/etc/sudoers'
Linux# visudo
visudo: unable to run č @č @al/bin/vi: No such file or directory
visudo: sudoers file unchanged.
(strange characters in filename)
then i removed EDITOR
Linux# unset EDITOR
Linux# echo $EDITOR
(--nothing--)
Linux# visudo
works fine
What am I doing wrong, please ?
Sorry for being so brief but my English is terrible.
Thanks,
Michael
