** Description changed: - Binary package hint: network-manager + Binary package hint: sudo I put a few comments in /etc/sudoers where the '#' comment char is succeeded with -- as in: #--ariel--# result: sudo won't work anymore. - $ sudo echo OK - >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 9 <<< - >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<< - sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 9 - sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting + $ sudo echo OK + >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 9 <<< + >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<< + sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 9 + sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting putting a space between the '#' and '--' solves the problem. Comments should start with '#' only.
