[Freeipa-users] heads-up: new code to fetch sudo rules from an IPA server coming to Fedora and RHEL-6

[Jakub Hrozek]

Hi,

the sssd's code that fetches sudo rules from the IPA server got an
overhaul recently. The search would no longer be performed against the
compat tree, but against IPA's native LDAP tree. This would have the
advantage that environments that don't use the slapi-nis' compat tree
for another reason (like old or non-Linux clients) would no longer
require slapi-nis to be running at all.

We'd like to get some tests for this new code! If you're running Fedora ,
you can just upgrade to the packages from Fedora's update testing. If
you're running RHEL-6.7 and would like to see what is cooking for 6.8,
you can try this repository:

RHEL-7 wouldn't receive this code until 7.3, so we don't have test
packages for el7 yet..
