[SOLVED] sudoers file
After the last update I got the message
warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew I made a mistake in doing
sudo mv /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.pacold in order to subsequently change the name of "sudoers.pacnew" in "sudoers".
Now I am enable to act as root.
How can I do? Many thanks in advance.

Log in as root and fix it.

Re: [SOLVED] sudoers file
Use `su`, or just log in initially (to a tty) as root.

I tried "su" and it does not work.
i never logged in to a tty as root after the install. What is the correct procedure? I would like to avoid some further mistakes. Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] sudoers file
"does not work" is not an error message.
The procedure for loging into a tty hasn't changed. You are prompted for a username and password. Enter these at the prompts!

You're right, "does not work" is not an error message."
I apologize.
Thank you for the explanations and for your time.
Best regards
p.s.: I didn't know the tty activation procedure, however, after a little research, I managed to activate it. Thanks again
