If you want to edit the sudoers file you have to use the visudo command which by default uses vi.

You can use nano with visudo by running

# EDITOR=nano visudo

and to change the editor permanently add the following into the sudoers file.

# Reset environment by default
Defaults      env_reset
# Set default EDITOR to nano, and do not allow visudo to use EDITOR/VISUAL.
Defaults      editor=/usr/bin/nano, !env_editor

Regards,

Adolf.
