sudoers.tmp is the lock file visudo uses to make sure there aren't multiple edits going on at the same time.

I am trying to add my user to 'sudoers'. After I do I press cntrl-X and it says the file it is going to save is 'sudoers.tmp' . So I save it like that and my user still requires a password. should I not save it as the .tmp file but rather as 'sudoers'. I don't remember it being like that last time I did this!
