Description Rob Crittenden 2012-09-25 18:08:47 UTC

Description of problem:

First two problems moved over from BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860386

1. The newly installed /etc/sudo-ldap.conf has some of the entries from the old /etc/nslcd.conf, but not all. However, all the entries from the documentation are needed. It would be nice is that is reflected in the file commented out entries.

2. The permissions of /etc/sudo-ldap does not seem to be correct. It is 440. Shouldn't it be 640?

3. There is no man page for sudo-ldap.conf

4. sudo-ldap.conf is not mentioned in the sudo man page.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sudo-1.7.4p5-13.el6_3

could you please provide the list of additional entries that should be in the sudo-ldap.conf file? The configuration file now contains the most important once and they are commented out.

It's referenced from the README.LDAP file which is part of the documentation that gets installed on the system.

And also from man sudoers.ldap

Changes made:
