Segmentation fault after sudo commands

I've modified (in some wrong way) the file etc/sudoers in my Mac OS X 10.6.8.

For this reason I've erased the wrong line and replaced the original file. But now whenever I type sudo commands the output is:

sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 501, should be 0
Segmentation fault

A solution could be this but when I type su (and the password) the output is:

su: Sorry

How can I fix this problem?

Solution

  • I've followed these steps to enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X.

    In this way I can use the fix posted in my question.
