Description GhioraDrori 2009-05-20 13:57:39 MDT

Hi,
When I have a comment line of the form:

#-----

In the sudoers file and I type: sudo, I get an error:

$  sudo
>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 8 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 8
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

I am using a  gentoo system compiled a few days ago.
My guess a parser error which could make it a security issue.

Thanks Ghiora
