[Devil-linux-software] [fmII] sudo 1.6.9p13 released (Default branch)

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

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.6.9p13' of
'sudo' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be
found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/sudo/

The changes in this release are as follows:
Sudo will now set the nproc resource limit to unlimited on Linux
systems to work around Linux's setuid() resource limit semantics. On
PAM systems the resource limits will be reset by pam_limits.so before
the command is executed. Sudo now has SELinux support that can be used
to implement role based access control (RBAC). A role and (optional)
type may be specified in sudoers or on the command line. These are
then used in the security context that the command is run as. This
release also fixes a Kerberos 5 compilation problem with MIT
Kerberos. 

Release focus:
4 - Minor feature enhancements

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.
