Package: sudo-ldap
Version: 1.7.2p1-1.2
Severity: wishlist
Currently this variant describes itself as
This version is built with LDAP support.
This puzzled me, because libpam-ldap already allows you to perform
authentication via LDAP -- did sudo-ldap only exist for people that
hated pam and wanted to talk directly to the LDAP database?
In discussion it was suggested that the purpose of sudo-ldap is that
it allows the sudoers database to be distributed as LDAP objects
instead of a flat /etc/sudoers file. If that's the case, a
description like
This version is built with LDAP support. This allows the sudoers
database to be distributed via LDAP (instead of /etc/sudoers).
Authentication is still performed via pam.
will help me remember why this package exists.
