Using a seperate file with sudoers file
it is hard to explain what i am wanting to find out.

Basically in the sudoers file under user_alias commusers, would i be able to use a seperate file (.txt file for example) and state that in the sudoers file to use rather than inserting the new users that i need adding to commusers part of the suoders?

regards

Including other files from within sudoers
It is possible to include other sudoers files from within the sudoers file currently being parsed using the #include and #includedir directives.

Not directly. You can - as RudiC has already said - include other files containing sudo-rules, but you can't use these files to modify the composition of certain rules.

What you can do, though, is to use a preprocessor of some sorts (gcc should do) to create a sudoers-rulefile which you then can include into the rules.

I hope this helps.
