[ale] Managing passwd and sudoers files on multiple servers.

[jdp at algoloma.com (JD)]

NIS if you don't care about security.

LDAP if you do.  FreeIPA is the RH answer for this - I'm jealous.

Ansible for managing systems configurations from a central repo - similar to
puppet, but much less work to get started and no remote-system requirements that
you don't have installed already.  Newer Linux systems support a /etc/suders.d/
directory - put your customizations in there.

All relatively easy.  Managing the sudoers should be 30 min of effort - tops.
Don't know about FreeIPA, but you've hit the point where that and Ansible make
lots of sense, IMHO.

This all sounds like lots of fun to me!
