Hi,

if you want to comment testing line only,

%test ALL=(ALL) ALL

# %testing ALL=(ALL) ALL

Is it what you want?

BR.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to achieve. Something like this?

Avoid editing your /etc/sudoers file.

The design in CentOS is that you add your customization in files in the /etc/sudoers.d directory.
Your /etc/sudoers file could be replaced during package updates.

Files in the /etc/sudoers.d directory are '#include'-d near the end of the /etc/sudoers file.

Note that order in whatever you do in the sudo configuration files is important. If more than one line matches, the last one wins.

Your /etc/sudoers file could be replaced during package updates.

That should not happen, it is marked as a config file in the rpm spec which means that if it has been altered, it will not be replaced.
