Can you resolve that ip address??

nslookup 10.10.10.3

Shalom Kogoe,

Just for grins, copy the sudoers file to a backup and take out line 8. Its complaining about syntax and thats probably before line 8.

If you are new to the tool, perhaps try a simpler configuration, which would involve just what users get to use what applications that normally require root privs.

Use cat -e /etc/sudoers to verify for non printable characters that may be creating problems with your configuration. Ensure that no extra or unfinished "," or "\" is in your file.

With cat -e the file should look like:

$
Host_Alias IAS = hostname_of_ias$
$
