Bug Description

When masternodegroup.set_up_dhcp() is called, the script /usr/sbin/maas-provision is used to write the DHCP configuration. That script is run using sudo in order to be able to write the config into /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.

The sudo rule to allow that sudo command to be run is missing from debian/extras/99-maas-sudoers: The complete command is: "sudo maas-provision atomic-write --filename /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf --mode 744" so I suggest adding something like: "maas ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/maas-provision" in debian/extras/99-maas-sudoers. (note that I've tested that fix manually and it solves the problem)

Julian suggested putting the sudoers file which is currently in the packaging branch into the upstream branch (in contrib). The main advantage would be that it would be more easy for someone running maas directly from the tree to copy the required sudo rules from contrib/sudoers.

Hi Raphael!

I'm not opposed. Please update setup.py accordingly though.

rename the file in packaging or use (maas-sudoers) please
