Martin Prpič 2012-11-16 12:50:50 UTC Doc Text Treating Matches Authoritatively in Look Ups of sudoers Entries

The sudo utility is able to consult the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for sudoers entries and look them up in files or in LDAP. Previously when a match was found in the first database of sudoers entries, the look up operation still continued in other databases (including files). In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 an option was added to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file that allows users to specify a database after which a match of a sudoers entry is sufficient. This eliminates the need to query any other databases; thus improving the performance of sudoers entry look ups in large environments. This behavior is not enabled by default and must be configured by adding the [SUCCESS=return] string after a selected database. When a match is found in a database that directly precedes this string, no other databases are queried.
