Hi,

As one of my first actions inside the new VPS, my extremely stupid self commented out the following line from /etc/sudoers:

%sudo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Instead of rewriting it as:

%sudo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

So I have effectively locked myself out from root access via sudo(8). Could you please apply the suggestion above as root so as to gain access?

Thank you and forgive the inconvenience!

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it looks like there is still something wrong. cat /etc/sudoers would not allow me to read the file because of insufficient permissions, but visudo(8) did point out a syntax error:

$ sudo visudo
/etc/sudoers:50:20: syntax error
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL)
                   ^
