you edit sudo with the visudo utility. This is in case you accidentally bungle a setting, it will complain and undo the changes instead of potentially blocking you from the ability to 'sudo visudo'.

I am running sudo version 1.6.6. I would like to avoid any user the "sudo -s" command which opens a terminal giving the user full root access just like a root user essentially negating sudo. Is there any way to prevent users from giving this command ?
Your help in this is appreciated.
