sudoers file with groups in LDAP
Hello gurus,
I've been working on a sudoers file to work with groups in LDAP. I've created the groups in LDAP and added the users to there respective groups. I've also setup my sudoers file to have the groups match what is in LDAP. And I've added ldap to nsswitch.conf in the group line. The problem is that when a user tries to sudo to a user within their group(s) it errors out saying the user is not in the sudoers file. Also, when I do 'id -a username' it will show the uid, the gid and the group. Has anyone done this before, and if so, what am I missing?
Thanks,
==============================

group: files nis ldap

i have defined a rule in the sudoers file so a specific user is able to run some commands as sudo with no password.
my question is: is it possible to restrict a user to run commands as sudo only in a certain directory? for example: chown only the files that are located in /var/tmp.
Thank you.
