I can't reproduce the glibc error, but you are correct that having a file in /etc/sudoers.d with too-open permissions "breaks" sudo in that it will report the error and not run the requested command. I'll forward that part of your bug report upstream for consideration. In the meantime, the workaround is clearly to be very careful about permissions on the files in /etc/sudoders.d ... Bdale
