I forgot a step. Run update-sudoers (as root) after creating the .sudoers file.

ok, now this looks interesting:

>>>sudoers file: syntax error, line 2 <<<
>>>sudoers file: syntax error, line 3 <<<
>>>sudoers file: syntax error, line 4 <<<
/etc/sudoers.d/01sudo changes break sudoers
I have no idea what "01sudo" is and I have undone any changes I made to it:
Defaults env_check+="HOME DISPLAY"
Defaults env_keep+="HOME DISPLAY"
Defaults env_reset
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mmc-mount /dev/mmcblk0 /media/mmc1
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mmc-mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/umount /media/mmc1,/bin/umount -l /media/mmc1
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh, /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-disable.sh
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0*, /usr/sbin/mmc-rename /dev/mmcblk0*
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/af-base-apps stop , /etc/osso-af-init/gconf-daemon.sh stop
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/af-base-apps start , /etc/osso-af-init/gconf-daemon.sh start
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/osso-systemui restart
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gconf-clean.sh
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/initfs /usr/bin/retutime *
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/g_file_storage.ko stall=0 file=/dev/mmcblk0
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/g_ether.ko
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/rmmod g_file_storage
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/rmmod g_ether
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/osso-backup-restore-locale
user ALL = (install) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/app-installer-tool
I removed that file to update and then put it back.
Thanks

Editing the sudoers file is very difficult to use anything but VI. (I don't know what you use)

The actual recommended way is using "visudo".. I don't know if the N900 has that or not.

Essentially even wrong end of line characters can cause sudo to stop working.

Just some thoughts... in vi if you use ":set list" you can see the end of line characters... ^M == bad.

Just don't reboot, Bec, as you might need to reflash your system if you do. Copy a working 01sudo file (for example, from here: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/01sudo ) and run update-sudoers.

Now that^ can FUBAR your device if you don't know what you are doing.

The simple addition of an extra space in a line while editing with a plain ol' text editor will screw things up...

Now for the best part...
sudo gainroot asks for a password...

For the first time I use it, no matter how many times I've tried to set one (always the same) it didn't seem to work...

Problem is that the usual password doesn't work...

It asks for user's password, not root password. Did you install openssh server? If so, ssh directly to root.

I've ssh-ited it... surprisingly it stopped asking for a password... awkward

As I do realize how close my ignorance brought me to a re-flash I'd apreaciate some details about visudo.

Thanks

visudo is an editor that checks the file has the corrext syntax for a sudoers file before overwriting the original.
