Hello, hope all’s well.

I’d like to know, is there a sudoers module planned, or in progress?  
Or has Ansible finalized on doing this using templates only?

Thanks in advance

I believe the best and recommended way to do sudoers is either with the template, copy, or assemble modules.

And make SURE to use `validate' before copy or template put the result  
in place. (Trust me -- I know what I'm talking about ... 😉
