So i reinstalled sudser to see what would happen, it installed successfully and said to run sudser if i wanted to set a pw. I exited the root shell and ran the command, here's the output:

Code:
~ $ sudser
Please enter a password for 'user',
or press 'Enter' to use no password
Enter password: 
Again password: 
grep: /etc/shells: No such file or directory
Password changed.
>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 29 <<<
/etc/sudoers.d/everybody.sudoers changes break sudoers
~ $
so is the line that conflicts with the config generated by sudser generated by rootsh?

here's my list of additional sudoers config files:

Code:
~ $ ls /etc/sudoers.d
01sudo
community-ssu.sudoers
everybody.sudoers
fmms_magic.sudoers
hildon-application-manager.sudoers
hildon-control-panel-personalisation.sudoers
hildon-input-method-configurator.sudoers
mafw-dbus-daemon.sudoers
osso-af-startup.sudoers
osso-app-killer.sudoers
osso-applet-languageregional.sudoers
ssc-daemon.sudoers
tscalibrate.sudoers
~ $
I understand why it's convenient to have easy root for everyone, but doesn't that make it trivial to root the device from everyday vulnerabilities? Not so worried about physical security because like you said i keep a close eye on my phone.

Thanks for your help. The N900 is fun!
