Well, right now sudo only depends on libc6 and the PAM libraries, so it would add another library dependency. It's probably not a big deal, but folks who aren't using ldap will end up being burdened with another library dependency. > So (providing adding ldap doesn't introduce bugs), no one would notice > any change at all if ldap support was configured. My own use of sudo is fairly simplistic, and I don't have an easy way to comprehensively test the consequences of the change. I agree that upstream's docs suggest this should be a no-brainer.

Quoting Geoff Crompton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Why not just turn on ldap support in the plain sudo package? I think that will install the openldap libraries. Not everyone might want/need that.. But I modified the patch provided by Paul Evans to create the sudo-ldap package AS WELL as the standard sudo package...

Bug#283231: why bother with sudo-ldap package
Why not just turn on ldap support in the plain sudo package? Reading http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/readme_ldap.html, it suggests that if you don't have the line "sudoers_base ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com" in your /etc/ldap.conf file, then sudo will ignore ldap. If it ignores ldap, it uses the /etc/sudoers file as before. So (providing adding ldap doesn't introduce bugs), no one would notice any change at all if ldap support was configured. -- Geoff Crompton Debian System Administrator Strategic Data +61 3 9340 9000 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
