Description
c-l-c, reactivate, kiosk, etc should use sudoers.d, not scribble over /etc/sudoers. I believe for a while sudoers.d was broken, but I'm fairly certain it works in Natty and Precise. If necessary, we could stop building cluster stuff for Lucid or something.
Change History
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The support for sudoers.d is there in Lucid and later, however as noted in sudoers.d/README, /etc/sudoers would not have been upgraded to include the directive on an upgrade from an older version. Cluster machines are always new installs, so we don't care.
