Bug Description

sudo v1.8.16 has a bug that prevents it from working properly with netgroups.

The main affected usage case that I'm aware of is when using FreeIPA to define host groups, and then using those host groups within sudo rules.

It would appear that a release >=1.8.17 resolves the issue.
