Q: can  not reset dns in Mountain Lion

Hey would you look at this...tis me again.

 

I am so used to clearing dns in prior versions easily but MT is a different story. Is there a control panel now to allow sudo to be used?

 

In Snow Loepard I always went into Terminal and typed ---> sudo dscacheutil -flushcache  I think I may have forgotten to use the sudo from time to time and it worked great

 

Now according to the article it says to use  sudo killall -HUPmDNSResponder

 

I did and with the old way it just does nothing but the new way I get:

 

sudo killall -HUPmDNSResponder

sudo: can't open /private/etc/sudoers: Permission denied

sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

DAsMacPro:~ UnderWorld$

 

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

sudo: can't open /private/etc/sudoers: Permission denied

sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

DAsMacPro:~ UnderWorld$

 

 

Ideas on what to do?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), 4GB ram, Early 2008
