[Spacewalk-list] config management trouble once again

[Jens Neu]

Dear all,

I have a Spacewalk managed file: "/etc/sudoers" 
md5:f33b659f171218940fb8b1460fdd4226
spacewalk server is 1.5.1-1.el5, rhncfg-* is 5.10.9-1.el5, 
spacewalk-client is 1.5.3-1.el5
When I deploy the file on a machine, sudo (all versions from 1.7 to 1.8.5) 
complains:

[root at icinga-master ~]# rhn_check
[root at icinga-master ~]# md5sum /etc/sudoers
f33b659f171218940fb8b1460fdd4226  /etc/sudoers

[neu_j1 at master ~]$ sudo -i
sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 5 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 5

[root at master ~]# cat /etc/sudoers
# Spacewalk managed
#
root ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.d (the # here does not mean a 
comment)
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
[root at master ~]# 

It seems to be independent from (correct) contents of the file, the 
problem is connected to the Spacewalk deployment. If visudo is called, it 
complains also, Problem goes away as soon as you open all files 
(/etc/sudoers and /etc/sudoers.d/*) with visudo and save them again (no 
changes!).

any thoughts?
