[Devil-linux-software] sudo 1.7.4 has been released [freshmeat.net]

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

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

courtesan just announced version 1.7.4 of sudo on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

Sudoedit will now preserve the file extension in the name of the  temporary file
being edited. The extension is used by some editors (such as emacs) to choose
the editing mode. The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on
the target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option is
enabled. The tty_tickets option is now on by default. If PAM is in use, sudo
will wait until the process has finished before closing the PAM session. "sudo
-i -u user" has been fixed in cases where user has no shell listed in the
password database.

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.
