I believe the visudo command is for SELinux versions so if SELinux isn't install on the RH box, if that's what it is, then you don't have to worry about it. I've always just edited /etc/sudoers and added the line this way:
mylogin name ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL You don't have to do it that way, you can put the line this way: mylogin ALL=(ALL) ALL Or you can put specific things in, such as: %users ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom The last one allows anyone who is partof the group 'users' to mount and unmount CDs only.
