Recently I edited sudoers file and did typing error. Now neither I can do sudo nor change it.
Code:
sudo visudo -c
>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 8 <<<
How I can get correct the sudoers file?
Recently I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian, first thing i wanted to do was to give myself sudo permissions and lock the roir account. By default sudo group don't have permissions to do this on debian, so i wanted to edit sudoers file by typing visudo. But i keep getting this
error: Error opening terminal: vanilla How can i solve this.
I have been trying to get the following code to run.
Code:
However I am getting the following error:
Is there something that I am missing in the script? I have it as a unix file and tried to make sure that I did not have any extra characters.
My goal: I want to give users in the group "rtkprd" the ability to elevate their privileges and run a restricted shell script by using sudo. The full path to the shell script is /usr/local/bin/only_rtkprd.sh
The syntax of /etc/sudoers is giving me fits, to I've reduced my sudoers to a single log directive and a single line to enable the rtkprd group.
Code:
Defaults logfile=/var/log/sudo
%rtkprd ALL = (rtkprd) /usr/local/bin/only_rtkprd.sh

When ever i open vim, i get the error that the following error: E484: Can't open file/abcd/configFiles/vim/syntax/syntax.vim There was a .vimrc file in my home folder that i have removed.
Still i keep getting the same error. Presently in my home folder there is no .gvimrc or .vimrc file.
But still i keep getting the same error. I am not too sure where this file is mentioned.
Background info: The SHELL has been changed from tcsh to bash Earlier i had created a .vimrc file in tcsh, i have removed the .vimrc in bash SHELL.
I have tried several things to attempt to fix my sudoers file however it is still coming up with errors. The error says
[code]...
the sudoers configuration file is set to the default as I have ran a dpkg on it, have also uninstalled and reinstalled it, and went over the configuration file ensuring it looked like the defaults I had seen online.
I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
I logged in as root and was trying to add a user to sudoers, but then when I tried to save it said that the file was write protected and couldn't be saved. However, when I returned to look at the contents of the sudoers file, they were all done. The file is now empty.
1- How can I restore the contents of the default sudoers file. (I have FC12)
2- How can I add a user (no password) to the sudoers list without this happening again?
I have compiled both gocr and subtitleripper from [URL] and I am running into a problem with one of the scripts run from subtitleripper: pgm2txt. The error is:
Code:
andrew@skamandros~/Desktop/Labyrinth/subtitles$ pgm2txt -f en fauno
/usr/bin/pgm2txt: line 165: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/bin/pgm2txt: line 179: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Support for this program is not available and development has ceased a while ago so I have had a look at the script itself and I cannot see the error in syntax.

When I run it I am getting: ./svnup: line 61: syntax error: unexpected end of file Can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong. It's a script to export the latest revision from SVN to the web root folder and archive the previous version, basically.
In my sudoers file, there are lines that begin with #, lines that begin with % and lines that begin with neither. The # is definitely being used to comment out lines, but what does the % do? Is it a comment marker too?

I need to install a package. For that I need root access. However the system says that I am not in sudoers file. When trying to edit one, it complains alike! How I am supposed to add myself to the sudoers file if I don't have the right to edit one? I have installed this system and only administrator. What can I do?
Edit: I have tried visudo already. It requires me to be in sudoers in the first place.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[sudo] password for amarzaya:
amarzaya is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Relatively new to Linux, but I'm trying to grasp the proper way to modify the sudoers file. As an example, what would I have to modify in /etc/sudoers to allow a user (say 'user1' for the example) to be able to add/remove software through yum? I'm aware of the fact that I need to use visudo and how to use the vi editor. I've Googled this topic and while I've found a number of pages on the topic, I never see many examples.

Okay, now MySQL is just being (even more) difficult. Prior to boot's starting MySQL, I notice the line
Code:

Near?? Line 132 consists of

'stop')
Which is proper, and identical to all the other /etc/rc#.d/S19mysql scripts that don't result in errors. C'mon...!
