Description earlybird 2016-06-15 04:39:25 MDT

In the section 'SUDOers LDAP container', when the documentation specifies the cn of the default sudoRole, it says that 'Sudo first looks for the cn=default entry in the SUDOers container.' while the given examples say 'cn=defaults' instead.

The first occurrence should also say 'cn=defaults' as that's what the source code spells out.
