sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440

OS : Linux Flavor : Fedora 8

I dont know how this error came but got something to do with myself trying to get a root view yesterday evening , half sleepy. The below would solve the trouble:-

[saffrongeek@nerd1 ~]$ sudo chmod 0644 /home/saffrongeek /.dmrc
sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440
[saffrongeek@nerd1 ~]$ cd /etc/
[saffrongeek@nerd1 etc]$ su root
Password:
[root@nerd1 etc]# chmod 440 sudoers
[root@nerd1 etc]# ls -l sudoers
-r–r—– 1 root root 3211 2008-04-29 17:18 sudoers
