Does anyone know of a good howto for migrating sudo (and the visudo file) over to ldap on an RHEL system? I have added the schema to slapd and the basic sudoers.ldif to the ldap DB however I want to maintain the use of sudo group permissions into the ldap version of sudo and can't find any decent howtos for this.

Thanks.

The item I found on google seems to be pretty good, I did not test it, though ... have u tried it?

No, I didn't see this one in my results. I will give it a try and let you know, thanks for the info.

Please provide feedback if you get it to work. I would like to do the same, however, I do not have the time right now ...

So the link above is an excellent resource for setting up the LDAP DB with the sudoer information tree however I learned that sudo needs to support LDAP, something that was not available until sudo version 1.6.8. I contacted redhat support and was told that they decided not to update RHEL4 with 1.6.8, they only included it in RHEL5.

So now I a few options, upgrade sudo on RHEL4 from source; which can get pretty nasty, or look for someone that has developed an RPM for RHEL4 with the sudo 1.6.8 and compiled LDAP support.

If I find/fix this I will update.
