Default sudo permission probs

After I installed rt (request tracker) I can't sudo anything. What
happens is I get this error /etc/sudoers is mode 0644 should be 0444.
Any ideas?

Reboot into recovery mode to get a root shell and use this command:

chmod 444 /etc/sudoers

Then use the "exit" command to continue booting to the normal graphical
login.

Nils,
Thanks got it to work for everyones info though I had to do it twice.
The second time it told me it had to be 440 permissions so I just went
to recovery again added 440 and now it works. Thanks again, Nils.
