Sudo package installed getting sudo errors

techyjtmb

I have the sudo package installed on a fresh install of 2.4.0 with config from a 2.3.4 p1. When I ssh in and attempt to run sudo I get the following error:
sudo: unable to stat /usr/local/etc/sudoers: Permission denied
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

I have removed the sudo package, rebooted, installed the sudo package again with the same results.

What about if you go to the Sudo page in the GUI and save?

techyjtmb

No luck. I go into the page and save.

jimp

What exact settings do you have in the sudo package?

It's working fine for me here on 2.4

techyjtmb

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

jimp

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

techyjtmb

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)
