I just migrated over to Ubuntu 16.10 from Debian Testing and modified the sudoers file, but there doesn't appear to be a 'sudo' service that I can restart to get it to recognize the changes.
Does this involve some SystemD magic?

I don't think you need to do anything besides modify the file. – TheWanderer Nov 16 '16 at 18:21

Changes should take effect right away, sudo is a command not a service. – Panther Nov 16 '16 at 18:39

You should [avoid modifying `/etc/sudoers`](http://askubuntu.com/questions/846738/mona-is-not-in-the-sudoers-file-this-incident-will-be-reported/846748#846748). – fkraiem Nov 17 '16 at 09:18

There is no service working beyond sudo. When someone executes sudo it checks the sudoers policy. And sudoers policy checks the /etc/sudoers file or LDAP.
So you don’t need to restart any service.
