Does anyone know where to get a doc that will assist me in building a "visudo" file?

Hi,

Actually it's the sudoers file & visudo is the editor of such.

Rgds,

Frederick,
I know you closed the ticket but thought you'd appreciate a shortcut.

Here's a sudoers file I use, itâ s pretty good and I think it'll help you out a lot.

Regards
