BRU PE Restore fail

[Neil Sadwelkar]

Which version of Bru and which version of MacOS are you on?

Hi Neil,

BRU PE 3.2.6 80 and MacOS 10.13.6

Thanks.

[Tim Jones]

There are two possible causes for this:

A doubling of the inclusion of the sudoers.d folder –

1. Open a Terminal
2. Execute:sudo -s
visudo
3. Using the arrow/cursor keys, scroll to the bottom of the file
4. With the cursor position on the line that reads #includedir /etc/sudoers.d type “dd” (two d’s)
5. That line will disappear
6. To save the file and exit the editor type “:wq” and hit enter

The second is because the BRU_CMDS entry has been added multiple times to the /etc/sudoers file directly –

1. Open a Terminal
2. Execute:sudo -s
visudo
3. Using the arrow/cursor keys, scroll to the bottom of the file
4. Find a line that reads:
   Cmnd_Alias BRU_CMDS =
5. You should see 1 or more duplicates of that line
6. Using “dd” as above, delete all but one of the entries
7. To save the file and exit the editor type “:wq” and hit enter

Thanks Tim. When I enter “sudo -s” I get this in return:

Echo:~ echo$ sudo -s

>>> /private/etc/sudoers.d/BRUExemptions: Alias “BRU_CMDS” already defined near line 2 <<<

sudo: parse error in /private/etc/sudoers.d/BRUExemptions near line 2

sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Echo:~ echo$ visudo

visudo: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

One other thought. Does BRU PE 3.2.6 Build 80 support APFS?

Thanks for your help.
