unix weirdness in Big Sur

I may be they simply moved the sudoers file location?

Does MacOS have "man"? If so: The manpage should tell you.

Thanks for your interest in my problem ensigmatic.

I find that my sudoers file is present at its standard location. But, oddly, ‘find’ can’t find it there. Maybe another weird Tim (The Bean Counter) Cook ‘enhancement’.
