Full Discussion: Syntax error in one line in sudoer file cause total failure
Operating Systems Linux Syntax error in one line in sudoer file cause total failure Post 302913759 by programAngel on Tuesday 19th of August 2014 04:21:59 PM

Then why not just ignore from misconfigured lines (and still show warning message about those lines, everytime someone is doing successfully sudo)?

In such case the misconfigured lines won't inadvertently give someone elevated privileges that they should not have, because they (misconfigured lines) will just be ignored.

The situation now is that one syntax error and no one can do sudo, with my it very difficult to fix the syntax itself.

correction:
Which makes it very difficult to fix the syntax itself.
