Allow group shared from nis to use sudo

Question

I trying to enable a group call acctadm shared from NIS to use sudo.

Result of ypcat gropu looked like:acctadm:*:1005:god1,god2

After trying add %acctadm ALL=(ALL) ALL, +acctadm ALL=(ALL) ALL by visudo and rebooted. When I used account god1 and try sudo echo 123, I still got error:god is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Any idea how can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

I found out the reason is I didn't really include NIS group in my /etc/group.
You can check if you include NIS group by getent group.
If you didn't, add +:*:: to include all group of NIS group.
