Sounds like it's conflicting with the distribution's instance of the
file... myself, I distribute the sudoers file in the distribution as a
sudoers.dist file, copy it over if it doesn't already exist, then use a
distribution mechanism such as scp or something more automated such as
cfengine or the like to keep the distributed sudoers file up-to-date.

Hope that somehow helps as an alternative...

This will give you the water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
