Todd,

Those were angled brackets which I replaced with parentheses, which
fixed the problem. Thanks.

Ian

Are those really angle brackets and not parentheses?
I would expect it to look more like:

OPERATIONS ALL= (prod) ILX_SYMON, (snmp) ILX_SNMP, (sybase) ILX_SYBASE

Where OPERATIONS is a User_Alias; ILX_SYMON, ILX_SNMP and ILX_SYBASE
are Cmnd_Aliases; and prod, snmp and sybase are user names.

What is the exact error message that visudo reports?
