| 204 | The <filename>sudoers</filename> file can be quite complicated. It

| 205 | is composed of two types of entries: aliases (basically variables) and

|---|
| 206 | user specifications (which specify who may run what). The installation

|
|---|
| 230 | entry may not be needed and using <command>sudo -E ...</command> can
