Syntax Error Suders file


Hi,

I tried to edit my sudoers file using visudo and placed some valid entries.
when i tried to save the file. the system warned me that the file holds error at line 26 and asked me what to do.

I just quited the task and file was not saved.

I wonder what might be the error , for review below is the line 26.
this line is not added by me rather some one else added that.
I just want to know what might be syntax error with these lines.


MMS_USER SU,FTP,SFTP
MMS_USER SU .................................................LINE 26


THX in advance.
More over please excuse my Juvenile questions.

Hello and welcome to LQ.

If you check "man sudoers" you'll see it needs a format "username hostame=cmd_alias, cmd_alias". Username, hostname and cmd_aliases should be defined earlier on in /etc/sudoers.

Answering questions is what LQ is for. *Not* asking questions, that's stupid.
