Folks,<br>
<br>
First, happy new year.<br>
<br>
Now for the puzzle. Today I ran into this:<br>
sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 40, should be 0<br>
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting<br>
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin<br>
<br>
_very_ odd as you can see here:<br>
<br>
david@sanpablo:/usr/src/chromiumos$ ls -al /etc/sudoers*<br>
-r--r----- 1 root root 507 Jan 23 2012 /etc/sudoers<br>
<br>
/etc/sudoers.d:<br>
total 32<br>
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 1 18:01 .<br>
drwxr-xr-x 224 root root 16384 Jan 1 09:50 ..<br>
-r--r----- 1 root root 958 Nov 12 2011 README<br>

<br>
Nothing makes sense here. gid 40 is src (one of my secondary gids,<br>
but not my primary). The subdirectory I'm in using sudo is group src.<br>
Other than that, I have no idea where this might be coming from.<br>
Google has told me nothing that pertains (folks with this problem all<br>
had their permissions hosed, whereas mine are correct).<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
