   I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar at all with that YaST module. So read   
   the help and the documentation at doc.opensuse.org, and if it does not   
   behave as documented, open an official bug at bugzilla.   
      
   Or ask at the mail list.

   And what is line 79?   
      
   Perhaps:   
      
   kant    ALL = (root) ALL ALL   
      
   Is there a proper empty line below it?
