ok.. so im trying to add a user to the sudoers.. so i login to my root user to edit the sudoers file but when i try"
vim sudoers
it gives me this:
E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo
'network' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
builtin_ansi
builtin_xterm
builtin_iris-ansi
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'
"sudoers" [Permission Denied]
and im stuck in an ansi editor i suppose..
i cntrl z to stop it and im back to my prompt..
any ideas??
btw- i tried to do a search for "unknown network" and i get the same posts for any other search.. is it supposed to work that way?

nevermind.. the fix was simply adding admin to the user in control panel..

small addendum here -
you should always use 'visudo' to edit the sudoers file. It will do a syntax check before writing /etc/sudoers which can prevent some disastrous mistakes. You don't want to lock yourself out of sudo...
