Default Re: visudo

Oh. while 'visudo' may be the recommended method of editing the '/etc/sudoers' file, it essentially is 'vi', which means that using it is nearly incomprehensible to me. I'd be 100x more likely to make an editing mistake using that tool than editing it in Kwrite (which I did).

Two caveats, though. First, I set up Zimbra on a brand new box that nobody connects to yet, so exclusively locking the file didn't seem to be necessary. I could see the need on a box with high utilization. Second, I did run 'visudo -c' after I completed the edits to check that there were no syntax errors.
