HI!

Disclaimer: I did not check details myself yet.

I've been told by a colleague that semantics are different if attributes
sudoRunAsUser or sudoRunAsGroup are not present at all or contain a
zero-length string.
(Note that only LDAP syntax IA5String actually used allows a zero-length
string as attribute values. All other LDAP syntaxes do not allow that.)

Is that correct?

If yes, is there another sane value not colliding with user/group names etc.
handled semantically equal to a zero-length string?

Ciao, Michael.
