We're currently in the process of migrating our main fileserver off of Netware 6.5 and onto OES Linux. I managed to get LUM installed, working, and configured to the point that I can login to the box using my edirectory account. The big hangup I'm seeing is that I can't get sudo to work.

I added the edir group for our IT staff (O-IT) into the sudoers file so it reads
%O-IT ALL=(ALL) ALL

But it never takes my password when I try to use sudo. I've seen people say sudo works with lum enabled groups fine, so I'm thinking I'm missing a configuration step or have something not quite right. If anyone has any feedback I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks much

You have agroup called O-IT created and the line in /etc/sudoers file. The line looks fine to all users from the O-IT group to run a command with sudo.

Are the users added to O-IT group?
That is about my only thought. So when you exit from the visudo command it does not report any misconfiguration of the file?

There are no errors evident in the configuration so I'm pretty sure the sudoers file is correct.

yes there are users in the group, but the group exists in nds, not on the actual server. I know LUM is working correctly as I can login with my own user id, which also only exists in nds, not on the local server. The O=IT group is the one I originally selected to add users to LUM when I was setting this service up, so all the users in that group are linux enabled and can login to the box via ssh.

I have one other idea change the group name to something as one word with plain alphanumeric characters no ' - '. O-IT to OIT. Other than that no other ideas.
