So I came across the issue of trying to enable passwordless sudo for a group, but didn’t find any particularly simple (I was looking for a one-task solution) solution. I did solve my issue short term with a template, but my question is now:

Would you guys see the benefit of an encompassing sudoers module that would edit the existing sudoers file? I have begun to build one that is similar the ini\_file module (enumerates and searches for lines), but I probably wont finish it unless I think it would benefit others

Thanks for any feedback, Colin

I prefer not to have 'per conf file modules' and either use template  
or replace modules as needed.
