RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
