	There are at least two "sure fire" methods of correcting any file 
"permissions" problems in Mac OS 10.6; run Disk Utility App or/and 
install the 10.6.4 combo update. The disk utility allows for detecting 
and correcting file permissions errors. The update generally corrects 
permissions errors in the file system. Whether it corrects /etc/sudoers 
I do not know, but the disk utility can and will make the changes 
without any arguments.

	Well, sort of, as with any automatic Apple computer process.
