visudo & other editors
Authored by: vykor on Jun 01, '05 12:53:56PM

The version of visudo on Panther is compiled with with an enveditor option that obeys the EDITOR variable in the shell. Set visudo to use emacs (or whatever editor) as the default by exporting a new EDITOR variable.

As an emacs guy, I've always done this in emacs. All the benefits of visudo, without the syntax of vi.
