I'm not fully up on all this, it's a very confusing journey, but I think that if PAM's configured to use LDAP, then sudo will too.

it depends on what you mean by "use LDAP"; if you're just talking about doing UID and password mapping via LDAP, then yes, that's handled by PAM, but the --use-ldap directive to sudo enables it to pull configuration information (that is usually stored in /etc/sudoers) from a LDAP database, and that process has nothing to do with PAM.

based on that snippet of .spec file, i don't believe the stock sudo is compiled with LDAP support. Camron, do you know how to modify a SRPM? you'll need to install the SRPM, edit the .spec, and recompile.

Steve,

I've done it, but I wouldn't say I'm *comfortable* with it yet (can't learn if you don't do, right?). Also, I have this phobia about changing stock pkg installations. These guys have done such good work, I'd hate to screw it up!

Best Regards,
Camron
