Thread: /usr/local/etc/sudoers is mode 0444, should be 0440


i don't understand this.
know solution recovery mode , run chmod 440 /etc/sudoers

isn't mode 0444 got more permission?
how come if /etc/sudoers isn't mode 0440 when doing sudo error.

because correct 444 has more permissions 440. sudoers file requires file's owner , in same group can read it. when change mode 444, file can read everyone. that's why sudo won't work if permissions lax.

way correct is, say, boot recovery mode , set right permissions.
