Why are you screwing with /etc/ldap/ldap.conf or /etc/ldap/conf? Neither of these files are used by sudo on debian/ubuntu.

--Quana

root@ubuntu3:~# cat /etc/ldap.conf > /etc/sudo-ldap.conf root@ubuntu3:~# su - bluethundr bluethundr@ubuntu3:~$ sudo bash

That did it! Thank you for catching that.. this was a change from 8.04 to 9.10.. 8.04 looks to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf...

Best regards and I sincerely appreciate your input!

This move had no effect:

root@ubuntu3:~# mv /etc/ldap/ldap.conf /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.bak root@ubuntu3:~# ln -s /etc/ldap.conf /etc/ldap/ldap.conf

Your output from sudo on that box *clearly* states that sudo-ldap uses "/etc/sudo-ldap.conf".
