[sudo-users] Sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line -1

[Eugene J. Pate]

Thanks for the reply Todd.

Per your suggestion, I ran the command and it came back with an "ok".

# visudo -c
/etc/sudoers file parsed OK



If you have any more suggestion I would greatly appreciate it.


thanks

You should try running visudo as root.  Chances are there is a syntax error on the first line.  If you just want to check the syntax you can run:

# visudo -c
