Protip: Don't edit sudoers file with vim and think you remember the format for adding a user and then save it only to find you can no longer elevate to root privileges because the system can't parse the sudoers file any more.
(And you can't fix it easily because no sudo)

Not on this server right now. I have to physically go downstairs and boot into recovery because I didn't use the right tool to edit sudoers.

No need to edit any silly files. Just do everything on root and you'll be fine
