Just an observation: Multiple userids with the same UID will confuse NFS something awful (and keep in mind that there is special-case code in NFS to handle uid 0 in different ways).

Managing sudo rules with LDAP is a much better solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
