| Summary: Execute some commands as root | |
Sudo is a command that allows users to execute some commands as root.
The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which users have
access to sudo and which commands they can run. Sudo logs all its
activities to syslogd, so the system administrator can keep an eye on
things. Sudo asks for the password for initializing a check period of a
given time N (where N is defined at installation and is set to 5
minutes by default).

* Fixed the expansion of the %h escape in #include file names
introduced in sudo 1.7.1.
* Fixed a a bug where the negation operator in a Cmnd_List
was not being honored.

a directory that contains no valid filenames.

in the distribution for people who wish to regenerate the man pages.

- SPARC requires large PIE model
* Mon Jul 13 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated to 1.7.2
* A new #includedir directive is available in sudoers. This can be
used to implement an /etc/sudo.d directory. Files in an includedir
are not edited by visudo unless they contain a syntax error.
* The -g option did not work properly when only setting the group
(and not the user). Also, in -l mode the wrong user was displayed
for sudoers entries where only the group was allowed to be set.
* Fixed a problem with the alias checking in visudo which
could prevent visudo from exiting.
* Sudo will now correctly parse the shell-style /etc/environment
file format used by pam_env on Linux.
* When doing password and group database lookups, sudo will only
cache an entry by name or by id, depending on how the entry was
looked up. Previously, sudo would cache by both name and id
from a single lookup, but this breaks sites that have multiple
password or group database names that map to the same uid or
gid.
* User and group names in sudoers may now be enclosed in double
quotes to avoid having to escape special characters.
* BSM audit fixes when changing to a non-root uid.
* Experimental non-Unix group support. Currently only works with
Quest Authorization Services and allows Active Directory groups
fixes for Minix-3.
* For Netscape/Mozilla-derived LDAP SDKs the certificate and key
paths may be specified as a directory or a file. However, version
5.0 of the SDK only appears to support using a directory (despite
documentation to the contrary). If SSL client initialization
fails and the certificate or key paths look like they could be
default file name, strip off the last path element and try again.
* A setenv() compatibility fix for Linux systems, where a NULL
value is treated the same as an empty string and the variable
name is checked against the NULL pointer.
* Mon Apr 27 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated to 1.7.1
* A new Defaults option "pwfeedback" will cause sudo to provide visual
feedback when the user is entering a password.
* A new Defaults option "fast_glob" will cause sudo to use the fnmatch()
function for file name globbing instead of glob(). When this option
is enabled, sudo will not check the file system when expanding wildcards.
This is faster but a side effect is that relative paths with wildcard
will no longer work.
* The file name specified with the #include directive may now include
a %h escape which is expanded to the short form of hostname.
* The -k flag may now be specified along with a command, causing the
user's timestamp file to be ignored.
* The unused alias checks in visudo now handle the case of an alias
referring to another alias.
