Hi Eric,

sudo maintainer and a relatively new member of the sssd team here.

If I understand correctly, this bug is about sudo breaking because the 
on-disk /etc/sudoers file is no longer honored once libsss-sudo is 
installed and thus, for example, the sudo privilege for members of the 
sudo group does no longer apply.

If that is so, from my sudo maintainer point of view this is very much 
a grave bug since libsss-sudo breaks unrelated software, namely, here, 
sudo.

Here is git blame of this file:
f4a88568ff (Timo Aaltonen    2026-02-13 12:33:45 +0200 1) sudoers       databas>
becf043d4c (Gioele Barabucci 2022-12-29 14:28:59 +0100 2)
becf043d4c (Gioele Barabucci 2022-12-29 14:28:59 +0100 3) sudoers last  sss
and I am putting both comitters on the cc list.

Can we please discuss solutions to get this bug out of the way? What 
would happen if we just applied the proposed solution, adding "files" to 
the file?

Greetings
Marc
