Sep 12, 2017 at 9:13 comment added Devidas Hey Ben, It may be due to different group ids (ht and sudoers have same uid and gid but not ht and shadow ) I am just helping explaining behavior. because even this is true still weird.
Sep 12, 2017 at 7:05 comment added Kusalananda What error do you get from ht when you try? Please update the question with the exact and full error message that you get.
Sep 12, 2017 at 4:20 comment added rootshellz Interesting. Maybe it is the ht application then. ht is an ncurses hex editor.
Sep 12, 2017 at 4:16 comment added muru I have not idea what ht is, but I tried the same setgid/setuid permissions on copies of cat and vim and both programs were able to read both files perfectly fine. (Vim complained about /etc/sudoers being read-only, of course.) On Ubuntu 16.04
