I see same problem in ubuntu 16.04. The adm group was added on 11.10 & admin group existed till 12.04 (https://askubuntu.com/questions/612751/what-is-the-difference-between- the-groups-adm-and-admin). So, going forward since 12.10, admin group is no more but replaced by adm group.
In the context of keeping intended feature (i.e. Members of the admin group may gain root privileges), the fix to update "admin" to "adm" looks correct to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767801 Title: Wrong group name "admin" instead of "adm" in default sudoers file of sudo 1.8.21p2-3ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/1767801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
