sudoers issue; not owned by 0

sudo: /opt/local/etc/sudoers is owned by uid 503, should be 0

Hi all, as you can see, I totally screwed up my sudoers file, actually, I did it a looong time ago, but decided to live with it. Now I want it back.

I know what caused the issue, I overwrote the file in finder and now I can't access the System or Wheel in permissions in GetInfo to repair permissions.
Well, at least i'm sure that is worth noting.

Long story short: sudoers is owned by uid 503, should be 0

cause:
:broke sudo (can't remember how, I didn't even program at all back then)
:edited sudoers without visudo(synax errors)
:found an original copy of the sudoers file and replaced the text in the sudoers file with that.
:fixed the resulting issues with permissions using chmod in single user mode.
:the above error occurs.

Oh and, if anyone could link me to a tut on XCode(The software), or some pdf or book, I would appreciate it. all of these issues are making C++ much more difficult to use than Java and as3... Is there some sort of central documentation for unix programming?

I appreciate your help.

 

Well, I have two sudoers files; don't ask me why. One in /etc/sudoers and one in opt/local/etc/sudoers.
As for having the root account enabled. I am not sure what you mean.
I am an administrator if you mean that.

 

Googling it now:

I'll tell you if I get it.

 

Easy as pie! Just logging in as root and doing:
visudo /etc/sudoers //open sudoers file with visudo
SHIFT+://open vi prompt
qw //quit and save
hoorah! File owned by 0. Everyone is happy. Thanks maflynn and Dweez.
