http://askubuntu.com – Following the wiki's advice, I installed ubuntu-zfs. However, once everything installed correctly, and I tried installing another application via apt-get, I get a weird issue with my sudoers file: max@host:~$ sudo apt-get install deluge deluge-web sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/zfs is mode 0644, should be 0440 >>> /etc/sudoers.d/README: /etc/sudoers.d/zfs near line 18 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/README near line 18 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting *** glibc detected *** sudo: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08909d08 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= ....

Stories similar to Installing ZFS changed my sudoers file

sudo cannot open /etc/sudoers 51 weeks 4 days ago

sudo does not work. I have installed Arch onto a USB key, using BTRFS. The output of "sudo" is:

$ sudo sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

$ ls -l /etc/sudoers -r--r----- 1 root root 2849 May 18 15:00 /etc/sudoers

$ lsattr /etc/sudoers --------------- /etc/sudoers

$ strace -u ross sudo true

Why might sudo chmod -R a+w * cause

sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

and how might it be made to work?

[ubuntu] Sudo error !! 24 weeks 20 hours ago

I have changed the permissions of some system folders and now when i want to install a program it shows this error:

sudo: /etc/sudoers is world writable sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Any help?

I kinda screwed up the /etc directory by running:

sudo chmod 417 /etc

Leaving me unable to use sudo:

sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: permission denied. sudo: no valid sudoers sources foundm quitting

Ive been trying to fix it via recovery mode but i'm not sure to what mode I should set it. (I know sudoers is 0440, but this doesnt fix it because /etc is still messed up.)

Oh and for the future

how to deny "sudo su" 1 year 16 weeks ago

I have several servers where some users require to be sudoers to work. The problem is that when sudoers can run the command sudo su and login as user root. It seems very risky to run that command.

I tried with Command Alias ​​in the file /etc/sudoers but it has not worked. Is there any way that they are sudoers but not run the command sudo su?

Tried a million things but I can't restore my root access.

ubuntu@ip-10-252-139-101:~$ sudo su sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Sadly I can't boot in restore mode because this is an AWS EC2 instance, I'm afraid I've screwed everything.

I need to sudo for one last time to start mysql service then dump a database.

Run as group fails (sudo -g) 44 weeks 6 days ago

I would like to run a command with temporary group membership but it seems that I don't have permission to do that.

the sysadmins are present in the sudoers files of all environments, but other sudoers are not. Different environments all have slightly different sudoers.

i screwed up big time.
