I am also encountering the same problem. this is a duplicate of bug 185517 which also includes a temporary workaround in bug 185517, comment 2 Thanks for your report. usermode-1.74 in RHEL4 does include the UGROUPS feature described in bug 185517 (coming from bug 86188). Is that, maybe with using a group for administrators of each department, an acceptable solution? Alternatively, could you use whatever mechanism you currently use for distributing per-department sudoers files to distribute /etc/security/console.apps/* files? What requirements does "more like sudo" mean, specifically? usermode can't very well parse the /etc/sudoers file and maintain complete feature parity with sudo. Thank you for submitting this issue for consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The release for which you requested us to review is now End of Life. Please See https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request for an active release, please re-open the request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this issue. |
