Description REdOG 2005-09-02 11:43:56 UTC
The sudo-1.6.8_p9-r2.ebuild creates /etc/ldap.conf.sudo to enable using ldap for
sudoers. The commented header in this file suggests reading README.LDAP and man
ldap.conf. 
However the README.LDAP conflicts with the build which requires gentoo users to
use ldap.conf.sudo instead of sudo's default /etc/ldap.conf

minor but it took me awhile to figure this out since I didn't see `ewarn "sudo
uses the /etc/ldap.conf.sudo file for ldap configuration."` because of multiple
builds.

Unprompted I began reading the README.LDAP and it took me awhile to begin to
"wonder if the gentoo ebuild did something with the package" and read the
ebuild, where I found the ewarn.

I find it pretty obvious since you are reading that from ldap.conf.sudo, we are
saying to read ldap.conf(5) man page but we are doing that in ldap.conf.sudo
context. Plus there's the ewarn (sorry you didn't see it but that's a common
problem for every ewarn).

Suggestion for solving this "problem" ?
