<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''visudo''' - a wrapper that must be called to edit the '''sudoers''' file, which controls which users are allowed to use the [[sudo]] application, and how. On FreeBSD systems, '''visudo''' will use [[vi]] or whatever program is referenced in the '''EDITOR''' environment variable as the actual editor for the sudoers file.<br />
<br />
If you aren't fond of [[vi]], and you have not done so already, it is highly recommended that you change your EDITOR environment variable to [[ee]] or some other more friendly text editor before running '''visudo'''.<br />

/usr/bin/ee<br />
ph34r# '''setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/ee'''<br />
