[sudo-users] sudo central management

[Brent Fortman]

We have 50+ servers and manage all of them with a single sudoers file.
Yes, the file is quite large, but I assure you it's quite manageable.
The most challenging task is the initial consolidation of all the
different configs into a single file.  Arduous?, maybe, more like
"tedious" and not necessarily difficult.  When a change is made to the
"master" sudoers file, we distribute it to all the systems using rdist
(with ssh of course).  If your shop allows NFS to all of your severs,
then that would be an even easier way to propagate the changes.

Subject: [sudo-users] sudo central management

Hi everyone,
 
I'm new to the list so wasn't sure if my question has already been
discussed, yet.
 
I was wondering if anyone has a way to centrally manage sudo? We have
100+
servers (various unix/linux flavors). Most, if not all, have had sudo
installed with different configurations in each sudoers files. We want a
way
to organize and manage these files and wanted to get others perspectives
as
to how to go about this. I started taking a look at the different
sudoers
files and tried to consolidate into 1, but this is becoming a very
arduous
task. Is there a better way?
 
Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
 
Regards,
Barbara
