Can anyone tell me what syntax/entry should i add in /etc/sudoers file to ?

1. Grant access only to add/edit /etc/named.conf & /var/log/messages files to user Jeff.

2. Provide access to certain commands such as make menuconfig, make dep etc....

First of, when editing the sudoers file use:

Code:

visudo

I'm not so sure, but you can try this:

Code:

username ALL=/vi location/ /files to edit/

Hope it helps,
