Public bug reported:
In the configuration file for sudo ( /etc/sudoers ) you find this section:
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
The sudo group is in /etc/group, but not admin group. This is a cosmetic
bug, but if we specify a group that are allowed to use sudo command,
then the group should exist in the system too.
Installed version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS all upgrades up to 9 july 2014
installed, 64 bit desktop ISO used for installation.
Sudo package installed:
ii sudo 1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 amd64 Provide
limited super user privileges to specific users
