Bug#588831: lintian: please add permission check for /etc/sudoers.d/*
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
| ... : /etc/sudoers.d/aegir is mode 0600, should be 0440 ; ...
Could you please add a check for this? Nowadays many people exclusively
use sudo to get privileges and thus breaking sudo (e.g., #576527) by an
unrelated package is really bad, but it is also easily detectable.
sudo has an lintian overwrite for /etc/sudoers.d/README's permissions
(non-standard-file-perm), I guess you need to touch two things in
lintian to a) add above mentioned check and b) exclude /etc/sudoers.d/*
from non-standard-file-perm.
Regards
Carsten
