Sudo and Ldap

i believe in centos 5.x and redhat they have ldap suppor built in:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_80_12975.shtm

I am not sure how to include ldif file in the directory server, and also
once its included how to manage the sudoers?

let me give you some more background on the environmnt:

we have the following environments:

Production
Staging
Test
Load Testing
Development

Each of the environments have various number of servers ranging from 30 and
goign upto 150+.

we have three main categories of users

Linuxops = Linux Sys admins
SuperUsers = Developers who have sudo rights (ALL) on dev/load test
environments, but only for less, cat, more, command for
Test/Staging/Production environments (this is mainly for log and config file
viewing).
Dev = Developers who have full sudo rights on development and only access
development environment


I am restricting access to each environemnt via SSHD_CONFIG variable allow
groups. I have the following groups

linuxops
prodlogs
staginglog
testlogs
ltlogs
dev

What I would need is to someone configure ldap with sudo, so that if you
were in the correct groups you can login to which ever environment and have
the correct privilages.

The problem I Will have is with superusers. They would be members of the dev
group (so have all rights on dev env) but then I would be added to prodlogs
etc... so they have restricted sudo on prod. However since there would only
be one sudo file in ldap, sshd would let them logon to production server via
prodlogs group, and sudo would find the dev group and give them full
rights!!!!

I would appreciate any advice in configuring this setup, currently I have
written a wiki to cover the installation of Centos/fedora DS  and configure
it for central authentication with Shared home directories, this would be
the final icing on the cake if I could get it working:

Please have a look at the following link to get the idea of what I have done
to get ldap up and running:

http://wiki.unixcraft.com/display/MainPage/Fedora+Directory+Server


What I really need help is would sudo under ldap in the above scenario. I
hope I have given enough information, if you require more information please
just say I will provide ASAP.
