He-he, I recognize this :-)
I guess you took this line from my os config, anyway...

... this means that you did not define 'config-file'.

'config-file' is a simple function I use to return file names from my
"~/config" directory, i.e.:

  (config-file "/etc/sudoers")  returns  "/home/<me>/config/etc/sudoers"

So if you want to specify sudoers file, you can just use:

  (sudoers-file (local-file "/path/to/your/sudoers-file"))
