visudo reports errors on "Defaults:" lines

When using visudo to edit /etc/sudoers
it never likes any of the Defaults line's which are
documented in the sudo manual on the website.

http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/man/sudoers.html

Defaults:INSTRUCTORS   !lecture
Defaults:INSTRUCTORS   !authenticate

Commenting them out allows save with no errors.

sudo operates as expected otherwise no errors.

INSTRUCTORS     ALL = NOPASSWD:
PASS,!ROOTPASS,USERADD,KILL,SHUTDOWN,PRINTING

Using Solaris 2.6, sudo 1.6.3 no patches


Thanks
Paul
