   Yes, that is the theory. However he started his SUSE changes not as   
   root, and it asked him to type in his password to change to root. But   
   there could be a bug. In particular, the error message is a message   
   which would seem to have something to do with permissions. It says it   
   could not update his config file.   
      
   It could also be related to the "line 79" problem, and it found that the   
   old sudoers file was misconfigured and refused to touch it to alter it.
