[Devil-linux-software] sudo 1.7.1 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

courtesan just announced version 1.7.1 of sudo on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

A bug in the glob() bundles with sudo has been fixed.  Two NULL pointer
dereference bugs have been fixed. An LDAP compatibility problem with AIX has
been fixed. Two new default options, "pwfeedback" and "fast_glob", have been
added. BSM audit support has been added for FreeBSD and Mac OS X. #include
directives may now include a "%h" escape, for the hostname. The -k flag may now
be used with a command to ignore the timestamp. Sudo now supports LDAP START_TLS
and /etc/netsvc.conf on AIX. The unused alias checks in visudo now handle the
case of an alias referring to another alias.

Project description:

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of
users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all
commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis, it is not a
replacement for the shell.
