You may well be right but I still think this is a bug in sudo/sssd plugin. 
Here's why I think so:

@line  582 in sssd.c when calling hostname_matches it is a clear intention of 
the code that the hostname matching is done both against the fqdn and the naked 
hostname.

@lines 773-790 the implementation of hostname_matches(..) is done correctly. It 
guesses intelligently and chooses to match either against the fqdn or the naked 
hostname based on the format of the hostname provided by IPA. If there is a 
'.' in the IPA provided hostname name then the hostname compared to the 
fqdn otherwise it is compared to the bare hostname.

@line 805 in sudoers.c in set_fqdn the fqdn is correctly retrieved for the host 
during initialization - so sudo is indeed aware of both host name versions. I 
tested this part it it works OK.

The bug - I think - is that the information correctly retrieved during init 
through set_fqdn in sudoers.c somehow does not make its way to line 582 in 
sssd.c. There both user_shost and user_host seem to contain the naked hostname 
unless the bare hostaname contains the fqdn itself.

I do not have enough time to find out why this happens but the above evidence 
suggests that there is a bug somewhere in the process.
