Well, darn, I seem to have screwed up the status for the sudo package,
and now Launchpad won't let me change it back.

** No longer affects: sudo (Ubuntu)

Title:
  libsss-sudo generated nsswitch.conf leads to error messages upon sudo
  invocation

Status in sssd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in sudo package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Hello,

  the postinst script for libsss-sudo adds the following line to
  /etc/nsswitch.conf:

  sudoers:        files sss

  On my LDAP+krb5 setup, this leads to the following error message when
  either LDAP or local users invoke sudo:

  Nov  9 17:34:41 charon sudo:   oliver : problem with defaults entries
  ; TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc ;

  The sudo invocation succeeds nonetheless, so this is mainly an
  annoying cosmetic issue, since a mail is sent to root everytime
  someone runs sudo.

  Running a debug trace on sudo shows the following:

  I have found a similar report in Redhat's Bugzilla, but I'm not
  entirely sure if it's the same problem. There are slight differences
  in the debug trace: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879633

  Removing the "sss" statement from the sudoers line in nsswitch.conf
  works around the problem.
