Some additional info. I enabled sudo debugging by creating /etc/sudo.conf containing:

This incident will be reported. This is repeatable: downgrade sudo and it works again. Seems very likely related to change made as part of #1607666, which changes how sudo policies are matched, but has unexpected regression. --- Additional info --- The sudo policy in IPA is extremely simple. It has a single rule, which says: - applies to users in groups "system_administrators" and "security_administrators" - applies to any host - applies to any command In LDAP under ou=sudoers tree, the groups are flattened out: # system administrators on all hosts, sudoers, ipa.example.com dn: cn=system administrators on all hosts,ou=sudoers,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com sudoRunAsGroup: ALL objectClass: sudoRole objectClass: top sudoUser: brian.candler sudoUser: ... sudoUser: ... list more users sudoUser: ... sudoRunAsUser: ALL sudoCommand: ALL sudoHost: ALL cn: system administrators on all hosts Under cn=sudorules,cn=sudo it refers to the groups rather than the individuals: # 59ffb10a-9c61-11e6-b5b8-00163efd5284, sudorules, sudo, ipa.example.com dn: ipaUniqueID=59ffb10a-9c61-11e6-b5b8-00163efd5284,cn=sudorules,cn=sudo,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com ipaSudoRunAsUserCategory: all ipaSudoRunAsGroupCategory: all description: admins have full sudo access on any host they can ssh into cmdCategory: all hostCategory: all memberUser: cn=system_administrators,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com memberUser: cn=security_administrators,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: ipasudorule objectClass: ipaassociation ipaEnabledFlag: TRUE cn: system administrators on all hosts ipaUniqueID: 59ffb10a-9c61-11e6-b5b8-00163efd5284 I have no workaround other than downgrade.
