sudo can't acces sudoers

Hi all, I wanted to create sudo rights for one user but when i run the command i.e. "sudo ll" I get this response:

can't open /usr/local/etc/sudo/sudoers: Permission denied

This is the sudo file:
$ which sudo
/usr/local/bin/sudo
$ ll /usr/local/bin/sudo
---s--x--x 1 root root 114688 Oct 15 2003 /usr/local/bin/sudo
$

This is the sudoers file:

-r--r----- 1 root root 640 Nov 9 15:25 /usr/local/etc/sudo/sudoers

And this is the setting for the user in sudoers:

user1 ALL=(ALL) ALL

This is the only one user with sudo on system. I tried to create the rights also for root but with the same result.

Thanks

Shalom,

ALL is a reserved word and can't be used in the context of assigning programs to users. Try something different.

change ALL to something else and it should work.

It was not the problem. The user1 ALL=(ALL) ALL usualy works though it's not clean.

I found the solution - the problem was in permitions of the /usr/local/etc/ directory - it was 744. After I set it to 755 everything works. Thanks for answer.

The solution is mentioned in my previous comment.
