   It is possible that the attempted edit by YaST is not legal for sudo,   
   and when YaST tries to insert the new file (/etc/sudoers.YaST2.new) by a   
   mechanism similar to "visudo", it is refused, which may translate as a   
   permission problem.   
      
   In which case it is obviously a bug in the module and should be reported   
   on openSUSE bugzilla, not here.   
      
   I don't remember ever using it; maybe too long ago to remember. And I   
   don't remember people talking about it at the openSUSE lists.
