<div>I started by editing the /etc/sudoers (using visudo) file and entering
%wheel ALL.=(ALL) ALL Then I added my own user account into the wheel
group and tested on the server and it works. <br><br>
When I go to one of my other machines running NIS I am unable to run
sudo, I get a permission error. If I add myself to the local machines
wheel group it works. I don't want to edit every machines /etc/group file
to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated.<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br>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).
<br><br>Also, remember to do make in /var/yp everytime the groups file is changed to update the NIS databases.<br><br>
