I think the layout of how it's managed in ldap is much inferior (having to declare each group multiple times, and not being able to apply privileges to a *group*, is stupid) but it is at least someplace where I know the clever people can't get easy access to it, and if the sudoers file gets modified, I can have tripwire scream. -- juniper It's most definitely *not* the case that you cannot use groups in LDAP sudoers objects. I'm also not sure why you'd need to declare groups multiple times, or what "groups" means in this context, but it sounds like you may just be doing things the hard way.
