Using sudo with relocatable hostnames

[Wagner, Brad]

I appreciate the feedback.  However, with over 100 HP boxes, we are having to be fairly committed to developing a consistent sudoers file that will be comprehensive for the environment.  Then, as a change is made, the file will be copied out across the environment.

Anyone have any other suggestions on how this might be accomplished?

Thanks

You can just use ALL for the hostname.  That's what
I did when I managed hp-ux clusters.

Doesn't hurt, as long as you don't blindly copy sudoers
files to other machines.
