sudo breaks on RHEL5 with old version of sudo (#includedir not working) about puppet-sudo

[tosmi]

did you try to use the latest version (3.0.3)? it includes a fix for redhat 5 with sudo versions < 1.7. we just add the includedir entry with augeas, so it's not necessary to set config_file_replace to true, you could change it from the default to false and everything should work as expected.

@cdepillabout the #includedir directive isn't supported on RHEL5?

[tosmi]

yeah sorry, my mistake. #includedir is only supported with sudo >=1.7.2. version 1.7.2 does not have the #includedir option in /etc/suoders per default, so the augeas part in init.pp fixes that. but you still have to ensure that the installed sudo version is >= 1.7.2.

redhat updated the sudo package to 1.7.2 in rhel 5.5.

we fixed that internally by setting package ensure to 'latest' on redhat 5. ones solution would be to set package_ensure to latest (or 1.7.2) if the redhat release is < 5.5 in params.pp.

@tosmi your workaround sounds good to me.

[tosmi]

ok, i'm looking into implementing the workaround. will take some time as i also have to test this :)
i have to find a test system...

[cdepillabout]

tosmi, that workaround sounds like it would fix my problem. Thanks!

[tosmi]

just for the record #62 should fix this.

[cdepillabout]

Thank you. This fixes my problem.
