Yes, powercrap! Otherwise known as Symark’s PowerPassword, PowerBroker suite. These two little products cost quite a bundle to place on every single computer in your network. They also have some limits to their functionality, for one being that they don’t integrate TOGETHER. At least, our technical team hasn’t quite figured out how to do that yet. PowerBroker, I’ll admit, could have some cool functions if we took care to use them, but we don’t. It’s like buying a Ferrari for going to the grocery markert. It’s just too big of a product for what we need. And c’mon, what the hell is with this branding? Powerthis, Powerthat. I think the Tiger could use a PowerFist. And only he knows why!
Anyways, I’m looking for some good information towards implementing sudo/ldap as a authentication/root permission scheme in a multiple multi-tier network. Man, that’s a mouthful. So if you have information, pass it my way, k? Thanks.

Hrmm…not familiar with the PowerSuite…
Maybe do some directory-stored users & roles…and something like cfengine to manage your sudoers file…
No PowerFist you sick, sick son-of-a-bitch!!! Yarr!
