I installed openVPN successfully but I would like to get remote desktop access with it, as is the case with openVPN in Windows. I found this GUI here http://sourceforge.net/projects/sogfl/ and installed it and everything, but I realized that it has actually messed up my /etc/sudoers file. It has added a line like this:

%sogfl: ALL=(root) NOPASSWORD : openvpn

(not sure of the exact syntax because I can't open the file right now because sudo isn't working).

Is there any way I can fix this? I noticed that /etc/group, my username is listed after sudo and admin, but not root (which is blank).

Any fixes? Thank you!

You can probably restore your sudoers file by typing pkexec visudo in a shell.

  • Should I delete the line though? I still want to be able to use sogfl.

  • If that line breaks your sudoers file? You choose.

  • Have you fixed the problem? Now that you have sudo visudo back, you should be able to edit sudoers in such a way that it does not break (that's what visudo is for).
