Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 25.04 (sudo version 1.9.16p2-1ubuntu1.1), files in
/etc/sudoers.d/ with a .conf extension are not honored by sudo, even
though the documentation states that only files ending in .conf (or with
no dot at all) should be read. My /etc/sudoers contains @includedir
/etc/sudoers.d, and visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/filename.conf parses OK,
but only files with no dot in the name are actually used. Permissions
and ownership are correct (root:root 0440). Changing the filename to
remove .conf makes it work immediately.
To be clear, I did not change any contents, permissions, or ownership of
the file to make it start working correctly. I simply renamed it from
brian_cset.conf, to brian_cset (without the .conf). Prior to doing
that, "visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/brian_cset.conf" responded with "parsed
OK" but "visudo -c" did not list the file. After renaming the file,
"visudo -c" lists the file, and it lists as "parsed OK" after, to be
clear, doing nothing other than removing the .conf at the end, which is
supposed to be allowed.
