Hi NoOp

Got sudo back last night before going to bed.  My sudoers file is 

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# Defaults

Defaults	!lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn

# User privilege specification
root	ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
