<html> <body> Brilliant! I setup a group sudoers with a id greater than 500, added it to /etc/sudoers on client machine and worked like a charm.

I don't want to edit every machines /etc/group file to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated.</blockquote> On RHEL3, only group id's 500 and higher are put in the NIS database by default. The minimum group id is set in /var/yp/Makefile (MINGID). Also, remember to do make in /var/yp everytime the groups file is changed to update the NIS databases. _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users@redhat.com <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users" eudora="autourl">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users</a> </blockquote></body> </html>
