[QUOTE="sc8ing, post: 1125813, member: 175659"] I have been trying to edit the sudoers file for some time now, and have been getting error messages on multiple occurrences. I run "su root" first to become root user, as "visudo" has to be run that way. I type the Administrator password for my computer, and "su: sorry" comes up. I assumed maybe I had type it wrong, but the problem repeatedly came up. The password for logging in to the Admin account works fine, but not in Terminal. I tried going in to the Admin account and running "su root", but the same thing occurred. I also noticed when I run a sudo command I get an error message saying "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440 Segmentation fault" I'm not particularly sure what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
