SSSD is now in Community, rather than the AUR, so it'd be great to have default support for it in sudo.
This can be done by adding the configure flag `--with-sssd`, and no extra build-time dependencies are required.
This task depends upon

Can you check if sudo 1.8.14-1 from [testing] works as expected? (I don't have SSSD configured to test.)
Comment by Robin McCorkell (Xenopathic) - Friday, 17 July 2015, 16:21 GMT
Unfortunately I'm getting some errors:

sudo: sudo_sss_attrcpy: unable to allocate memory
sudo: sudo_sss_rulecpy: unable to allocate memory

And sudo doesn't see my SSSD rules.

Can you try compiling sudo 1.8.13 with sssd support to see if that works? Perhaps also try downgrading sssd to 1.12.5. [1]

I don't believe this... With 1.8.13 (from ABS with the --with-sssd addition) it works fine. The same PKGBUILD, but with version bumped to 1.8.14 (aka the package in testing) doesn't work, giving those errors. I think we've found a regression, inconveniently at the same time as trying to enable SSSD support...

Reported upstream at http://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=703

Feel free to follow up there if you have further information or can answer any questions asked by Todd Miller (sudo's author).

A proposed patch was posted upstream and I've included it in the following test package:

http://pkgbuild.com/~foutrelis/test-builds/sudo/bug-703-patch-452/

Please try it and let me know if it works.

I've pushed sudo 1.8.14-2 with that patch, following your confirmation in the upstream report.
Comment by Robin McCorkell (Xenopathic) - Friday, 17 July 2015, 20:38 GMT
I can confirm that sudo 1.8.14-2 (pulled from SVN, compiled locally) works correctly without errors with SSSD :+1:
