I did a *very bad thing* when I was trying to get a startup script for

invoking sudo "/private/etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440" and
there are probably other problems I haven't discovered yet.
Have you tried running Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility? It may
not put everything quite back to where it was, but I expect it should fix
permissions on files in /private/etc that are installed with the OS,
including sudoers.
Hi Chris! Good question and no, booting in single-user mode and running
fsck -fy did not fix the problem until after I fixed the permissions on
the sudoers file manually. I don't know why this might be and someone
might stand up and tell me it can't be, but that was my experience this
morning. In fact, I did repair my permissions with the Disk Utility GUI,
but only after manually fixing the sudoers file in single-user mode.
Thanks for the thought though!
