Visudo
Hello, I tried to add a user to the sudo list with 'sudo visudo' in the terminal which then showed me this editor:
---
(text white, background black) GNU nano 2.0.7 File: /etc/sudoers.tmp Modified (end of different colours)
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
(and some more text)
and on the end
(in black again)
[ (line info, and col and char) ]
^G Get Help (and some more options)
^X Exit (and some more options)
---
Now i tried adding a user by adding 'fluffos ALL=(ALL) ALL' below the root, which worked and i tried to save, which didn't work.
I tried : x (without space.. smilies : ( ) and :X and ^X (like it showed below) but it was all added into the file as text, instead of saving or quitting : O
Does anyone know how to enter these commands or another way to edit sudoers?
Your help is very much appreciated
