True, but both call $EDITOR here. |

Yes, as a default when no other editor is specified. That means no |
| 10 |
$EDITOR variable visible to visudo and no default specified |
| 11 |
in /etc/sudoers. It does NOT mean that visudo is hard coded to use nano, |
| 12 |
merely that the Gentoo devs have set the fallback to something they |
| 13 |
know will be on a default Gentoo install. That seems a sensible decision |
| 14 |
to me. |
