Ubuntu 12.10 - setup a user, when ssh login gives me /etc/bash.bashrc: Permission denied

Question

I setup a user on my Ubuntu 12.10 server named "deploy" and I believe i added the user to the sudoers properly.

However, whenever I SSH into the server with this user, I get:

-bash: /etc/bash.bashrc: Permission denied

What would cause this permission error, and what is the proper way to debug this issue?

SUDOERS:

Defaults        env_reset
Defaults        mail_badpass
Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
deploy    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# See sudoers(5) for more information on "#include" directives:

#includedir /etc/sudoers.d

it would help to see what in /etc/password and /etc/sudoers for that user. — Danila Ladner, Sep 04 '13 at 14:26
Are you trying to use sudo in a script? Why would you need to have this user in sudoers to SSH into the server? — TheFiddlerWins, Sep 04 '13 at 14:28
This user will need sudo permissions, i disabled the root user and this user will be my user for doing all my deployments — , Sep 04 '13 at 14:32
I didnt "disable" it, just only SSH access for root is denied. i added the sudoers to the question — , Sep 04 '13 at 14:50
ls -l bash.bashrc -rw------- 1 root root 2288 Jan 21 2013 bash.bashrc **looks like 600** — , Sep 04 '13 at 15:12
Ok, good that fixed that. Now when i SSH in i get -bash: GREP_OPTIONS: command not found — , Sep 04 '13 at 15:17
comment out this line in bash.bashrc type rvm >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || echo ${PATH} | GREP_OPTIONS \grep "" > /dev/null || export PATH="${PATH}:" — Danila Ladner, Sep 04 '13 at 15:21

@DanilaLadner The `chmod` seems to be the answer to this question, please make it an answer so people can vote on it. The other problem can go to another question. — phunehehe, Sep 06 '13 at 06:40

The permissions of bash.bashrc were not correct:

Before, they were set to 600:

ls -l bash.bashrc
-rw------- 1 root root 2288 Jan 21 2013 bash.bashrc

Changing them to 644 fixed the matter.
