Hi,

We ran into a problem with all our SL 5.* systems after applying last 
errata where several commands are failing (everything trying to look at 
NIS/LDAP contents from userids for example) because sudo errata remove 
world read permission on /etc/nsswitch.conf. We were aware of this problem 
with SL 5.8... but it seems the problem has been backported!

After some digging into RH bug database, it seems this is a known problem 
with this last version of sudo that happens when the sudo config has some 
specific contents. I'm a bit surprised that this has been delivered into 
the errata...

Did we miss something? Anybody with some information/experience on this 
topic?

Cheers,

Michel
