By default the user does not have sudoer rights so you need to open a terminal and 'su -' with the root password. Edit the file /etc/sudoers. In that file, go

/etc/sudoers clearly states that the file is not to be edited manually and to use the 'visudo' command. Read the visudo manual page to know why.

Thanks for the caution. I tried it out in Kubntu 6.10 but the vi is broken and I can't even exit without writing changes. 'Esc -> : -> q!' does not get registered. I remember, in Fedora-7 too, I could not use vi to edit some files and had to use nano.

vi is no longer functioning properly in newer distros, atleast on my system.
