Description Stanislav Hanzhin 2013-08-21 14:55:54 UTC 
Editing /etc/sudoers from setup script confuses me, as we're tracking configurations with puppet and we try to keep /etc/sudoers clean.

Please, consider moving sudoers configuration of spacewalk to /etc/sudoers.d/
Comment 1 Tomas Lestach 2013-08-23 09:23:42 UTC 
Yes, this is a valid request.
Just note RHEL5 does not support /etc/sudoers.d/ configuration ...

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 Beta (Tikanga)
# ll /etc/sudo* -d
-r--r----- 1 root root 4555 Aug 22 19:11 /etc/sudoers
Comment 2 Jan-Albert van Ree 2013-08-30 12:15:40 UTC 
RHEL5 doesn't have it enabled, but with 1.7.2 (which is what RHEL5 currently uses) the '#include' directive is available. See http://www.sudo.ws/pipermail/sudo-announce/2009-July/000080.html

I'd like to see this RFE realised too.
Comment 3 Michael Mráka 2020-03-10 10:15:51 UTC 
This RFE has been implemented in Spacewalk 2.7 by

commit 6e6699ff0d2ad9ceeff738b43ab4c0b55958d275
    move sudoers configuration to /etc/sudoers.d/spacewalk
    instead of editing system sudoers file
