+          In very simple installations where there is only one user, it
+          may be easier to just edit the <filename>/etc/sudoers</filename>
+          file directly.  In that case, the <varname>secure_path</varname>
+          entry may not be needed and using <command>sudo -E ...</command> can
+          import the non-privileged user's full environment into the 
+          privileged session.

+        <para>
+          The files in the <filename class="directory">/etc/sudoers.d</filename> 
+          directory are parsed in sorted lexical order. Be careful that entries 
+          in an added file do not overwrite previous entries.
