Empty Sudoers File

Hey there today I was installing arch on my machine. While adding users to sudoers file I found that my sudoers file is empty.  I tried re-installing base-devel ( sudo ) but it didn't worked. Is there any way to fix it or elese provide my with default vanilla suoders file of arch. Any help will be appreciated
Cheers

Re: Empty Sudoers File

Wild guess, but are you not using visudo to edit the file?  In other words, exactly which command are you using that leads you to conclude the file is empty?

Delete it and reinstall sudo. Or extract it from the package manually.
