You can can replace rsync with version control tools like git so you
can even version the various revisions of the file.
Git will, by default, happily turn /etc/sudoers 0644. Then there will be
some trouble. etckeeper is supposed to work around this and someone
seems to have asked a similar question on ServerFault regarding that:

Thanks for informing that. I hadn't tried the solution myself so was
unaware of the same.
Just wondering how would tools like puppet and chef work for such
requirements. It would definitely be an overkill for just the sudoers
file. But, considering if it were to manage all the 4 servers, how
useful would it be? Someone here with hands-on experience of that.
PS: Sorry for taking the thread at a tangent but I feel it would be a
useful extension of this question so I'm not starting off a new
thread.
