add ovs-vsctl to sudoers file

[dan wendlandt]

The diablo-3 release of nova now includes the option to use Open vSwitch in addition to the Linux Bridge for VM networking.

As a result, the nova code now calls the "ovs-vsctl" utility using sudo, so I believe this means that ovs-vsctl should be added to the nova sudoers file (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/nova/oneiric/view/head:/debian/nova_sudoers).

ovs-vsctl is essentially the Open vSwitch equivalent of brctl . Thanks.

to be precise, unbuntu's apt-get seems to install ovs-vsctl in: /usr/sbin/ovs-vsctl

Hi dan, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Marking Medium importance as it only affects users choosing open vSwitch
