Subject: [Freeipa-users] Sudo Commands and groups confusion

Hi
Please help me understand what I am doing wrong:

Im using two RHEL6.4 ipa servers in a multi-master configuration
Instead of creating multiple sudocmdgroups and sudo rules, I tried to subset what I could see in the /etc/sudoers files and have nested command groups and rules, to be applied to certain users and hostgroups as needed.
I have a hostgroup called allservers, which applies to all servers.

The allservers hostgroup is a member of sudo rule admin-commands, which I created for specific users to be able to run admin commands on all servers. I have added as members, multiple sudogroups, each of which have a number of commands inside of them. Despite this, I find that sudo does not allow me to run any command as the users added to the admin-command rule. Please help me see where my logic is broken, and what to do to fix. Thanks a lot in advance.
My sudo-ldap.conf is correctly configured, and so is nsswitch.conf.

Output is below:

 sudo service httpd status
[sudo] password for tuser:
tuser is not allowed to run sudo on waphost.  This incident will be reported.

ipa sudorule-find admin-commands
-------------------
1 Sudo Rule matched
