Good question, which confused me as well, when I was looking into the file. Maybe ask the package maintainer or the developers? -Ramon On 26/10/2022 05:34, Ramon Fischer wrote: Then why in the world does the /default/ file, as installed by Gentoo, include directions to edit the the file?!?!?!

Hello Grant, generelly, I totally agree with you! Freedom of changing files everywhere is what makes Gentoo a good, user-suited Linux distribution. But changing *default files* comes with the risk, that a package update will overwrite it. Therefore "[...].d/" directories were "invented", wh

Hello Walter, I do not think, that this is a bug, since it is the default file, which should not be edited by the user. All changes should be done in "/etc/sudoers.d/" to avoid such cases. I kept mine unchanged from 2nd October and only have two uncommented lines:     [...]     root ALL=(ALL
