    What exact settings do you have in the sudo package?

    It's working fine for me here on 2.4

      Just the normal setup.  The user I am logged in as is in the admin group, and I have tried logging in as admin as well and get the same issue.

      Even if I choose 8 from the firewall menu and run sudo I get the same error.

        What about if you uninstall the package and then install it again? (Don't use the "reinstall" button)

        I've tried a few more systems here with sudo and they all work. The sudoers file gets rewritten when the package syncs and I never see any errors.

          I am sure it is some kind of local issue, just not sure how to solve it.  Here are my screen shots.

            I can run visudo as root and the file is there and looks fine.  I can save it as root, same problem.

              What about these commands:

              : ls -l /usr/local/etc/sudoers
              -r--r-----  1 root  wheel  67 Oct 16 10:30 /usr/local/etc/sudoers
              : stat /usr/local/etc/sudoers
              3272947030 44002 -r--r----- 1 root wheel 4294967295 67 "Dec 31 19:00:00 1969" "Oct 16 10:30:07 2017" "Oct 16 10:30:07 2017" "Oct  9 07:07:13 2017" 4096 1 0x800 /usr/local/etc/sudoers
              

              You might also need to reboot and force a filesystem check.

                  That seems OK as well. Strange that sudo itself complains. Use the reboot option from the ssh or console menu and use the option to force a filesystem check, see if that helps.

                    Chose 5, to reboot and then chose F.  System rebooted fine, and I guess ran the file system check, it boots very quick.  Still same problem.  I am at a loss…

                    Oh, and thanks for your help jimp.

                      Other things seem to be working, the only thing different from the 2.3.4p1 to my 2.4 upgrade is I selected to use the zfs filesystem.

                      Here is what my dashboard reports about the fs.

                      Memory usage
                      8% of 16309 MiB
                      SWAP usage
                      0% of 16384 MiB
                      Disk usage ( / )
                      0% of 254GiB - zfs
                      Disk usage ( /tmp )
                      0% of 253GiB - zfs
                      Disk usage ( /var )
                      0% of 253GiB - zfs
                      Disk usage ( /zroot )
                      0% of 253GiB - zfs
                      Disk usage ( /var/run )
                      4% of 3.4MiB - ufs in RAM

                        ZFS is fine, one of the hosts I tested is also using ZFS.

                        What happens if you delete that file, and then save in the sudo GUI.

                        rm /usr/local/etc/sudoers
                        

                        Also, when you try to run sudo, check the group membership if the user in the shell:

                        : id
                        uid=2004(jimp) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody),1999(admins)
                        
                        

                        It should have "admins" listed there

                          Deleted the file, went to the gui saved it, the file showed up, same error.

                          : id
                          uid=2000(xxxx) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody),1999(admins)
