[Freeipa-users] sudo rules user and host group bugs?

My environment consists of OEL 5.5 clients with ipa-client-2.1.3 and the server is OEL 6.4 with ipa-server-3.0.0. We chose these because we were able to find RPM packages for them. We would prefer to go with the latest versions, but we did not want to spend the time building installation packages just yet. Again, we are just evaluating at this point. So far, so good, except for this one point.
The doman name, host name, and nsswitch.conf files are all properly configured. But I do not have any netgroups defined (the getent command doesn't return anything and there is no /etc/netgroup file). After you asked about that, I started looking into the documentation on netgroups. The IPA documentation for sudo states that "Identity Management creates two groups, a visible host group and a shadow netgroup. sudo itself only supports NIS-style netgroups for group formats." But when I look in the Netgroups area, I do not see any netgroups defined. I used Apache Directory Studio to look around the Directory Server, and I can see "cn=hgroup1,cn=ng,cn=alt,dc=my_domain,dc=com", along with "cn=hgroup1,cn=hostgroups,cn=accounts,dc=my_domain,dc=com". This seems to reflect what was stated in the documentation.
But I am still stumped. I cannot get sudo to work with host groups; I have to directly add each server to the sudo rule.
Thanks,
-Mark

Just checking, did you try troubleshooting hints from JR I found at the top of the thread? I did not find an information about that.
~~~~
Can you confirm that the output of the following commands:
1. $ domainname
* does it match your domain?
2. $ hostname
* does match match your fqdn?
3. $ getent netgroup esolutions-sandbox-hosts
* does this list your host?
4. Does /etc/nsswitch.conf contain the line: "netgroup: files sss"?
Another important Sudo Troubleshooting step is to edit: /etc/sudo-ldap.conf (or /etc/ldap.conf, depending on what version of RHEL/Sudo you're running):
At the top, add the line: sudoers_debug 2
Then try another sudo command. sudo -l for example.
~~~~
For example, it would help to know that netgroup list (step 3) works or domainname is set correctly (step 1).
