To do this via SSH, log in to the machine and run the command pkexec visudo. If you have physical access to the machine, SSH is unnecessary; just open a Terminal window and run that pkexec command. Assuming you (or some other user) are authorized to run programs as root with PolicyKit, you can enter your password, and then it will run visudo as root, and you can fix your /etc/sudoers. If you need to edit one of the configuration files in /etc/sudoers.d (which in uncommon in this situation, but possible), use pkexec visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/filename.

I do realize that there is a Raspberry Pi StackExchange site, but I figured I might get more eyes on this problem here. syntax error near The issue is that I modified /etc/sudoers in an attempt to grant NOPASSWD permissions to one of the users, but I guess somewhere along the way I borked up the file and now I'm getting the following error whenever I login/attempt to use sudo: sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 19 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin I've found similar posts on Ubuntu as well as StackOverflow, but the problem is all the answers require a root password, and the root account is disabled by default on Raspbmc, and I obviously had not enabled it before attempting to change /etc/sudoers.
