Hi, > *sudo: /usr/local/etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440 > *Well..what exactly is mode 0644 and how can I make sure that my users who > have been permitted to excute this command are in mode 0440? What exactly > are these modes and what do they mean? Aijaz, please look here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html and 'man chmod' > Will something like *chmod 0440 sudoers* work to solve this issue?

It's removing the read flag for others and write flag for the owner, but please keep this in mind because next time you want to edit it the file will be readonly. If you want to get better results with this type of questions please use freebsd-questions list! Best regards, Gheorghe Ardelean.
