So when I type ls -ld /etc/fw at the prompt, the output that I get is :

drwxrwxrwx 15 fwadmin fwadmin 4096 Dec 3 15:01 /etc/fw

This already means that /etc/fw is group writable.
So now the next step that I did was type this into the prompt :

Quote:
ssh fwadmin@192.168.0.90 sudo -S /etc/fw/New.fw
This is for the firewall builder policy installer to login to the firewall as fwadmin and then copy the firewall script to /etc/fw/New.fw and then use the command above to execute it.

The output that I get is as follows :

Quote:
fwadmin@192.168.0.90's password:
id: cannot find name for group ID 502
>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 53 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 53
What it shows is that when I type the password for the firewall machine, the error returned is that it cannot find name for group id 502. When I change the permissions for both /etc/passwd and /etc/group to 644, the error still appears.

I do not have anymore ideas of how to correct the error.

Pls help.
