Besides, use of visudo is only critical for systems where no one knows the root password (default Ubuntu for example). If you know the root password and are on a generally single user system where there is no risk that two people would be modifying the sudoers file at the same time, don't be afraid to edit /etc/sudoers with nano. If you manage to break sudo, you can always fix it with su -c "nano /etc/sudoers" and by typing the root password. -- Sébastien Leblanc
