Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Can someone please have a look at my modified sudoers file?

Hi,


I just ran EtreCheck to see if there were any issues with my computer and it flagged that my sudoers file has been modified. Based on the report below, is this something I should be concerned about?


Thank you for taking a look, I really appreciate it.


Here are the contents of my sudoers file:


# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
# Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
# that prevent sudo from running.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.

Hello mfubib,

The sudoers file has extra-tight restrictions. EtreCheck isn't able to read the file. All that EtreCheck can do is look at the size of the file. If the size doesn't match any of the expected sizes, then it gets flagged.


Your sudoers file appears to be OK. It looks like a vanilla Mavericks sudoers file (which would normally be accepted by EtreCheck) but the last line is similar to a more recent sudoers file.


This file has definitely been modified, but it looks acceptable.

Can someone please have a look at my modified sudoers file?
