Hi, folks,

     Someone pointed out to me today that we could decompose our
/etc/sudoers files into one large standard body and many smaller
configuration files in /etc/sudoers.d.

     We've got a little over a hundred machines and not a lot of variation
among them. I see the value of doing this and also wonder whether the value
is worth the gain in complexity.

     What do you think? And is there any other recent new feature I should
think about using?

Thanks,

     John A
