There is a group in AD called 'Domain Admins' Add any AD users that you want to be domain administrators to that group, then, using visudo add this line to the sudo config: %SAMDOM\\domain\ admins ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Where 'SAMDOM' is your NetBIOS domain name. Check that your users are members of Domain Admins, you can do this with 'getent group domain\ admins' Now when they log in your domain administrators will be able to use sudo. For extra brownie points, you could store the sudo rules in AD ;-) Rowland

Added members to group Domain Admins ??? dc1 ~ # net cache flush ??? dc1 ~ # samba-tool group listmembers 'domain admins' ??? jgraham ??? Administrator And yet: ??? dc1 ~ # id HOME\\jgraham ??? uid=11105(SAMDOM\jgraham) gid=10513(SAMDOM\domain users) groups=10513(SAMDOM\domain users),3000020,3000006(BUILTIN\users) and also, logged in as me instead of root: ??? SAMDOM\jgraham at dc1 ~ $ getent group domain\ admins ??? SAMDOM\domain admins:x:3000000: So, for an undiagnosed reason, the effective domain membership does not include "domain admins" either. - John
