How To Restart Sudo Service on Ubuntu 16.10

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?

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.
