Changes since 1.5.6: - Various bug fixes (not security related). - All compile-time options are now set via options to the configure script. - visudo is now installed in /usr/local/sbin where it belongs. [of course this is ${PREFIX}/sbin in our package for a long time - TF] - two problems with tgetpass() have been fixed. In one case the user was not always given a chance to enter a password. In the other a newline was not always printed after the password was entered on Linux. - Added support for Digital UNIX SIA (Security Integration Architecture). - %groups now work as RunAs specifiers like the man page says. - Sudo now sets the USER environment variable to the target user (root unless -u is specified). - Sudo will print "command not found" unless configure was run with --disable-path-info. Also, tell user when we ignore '.' in their path and it would have been used but for --with-ignore-dot. This means that sudo can be used to gather information about the existence of executable in directories not accessible by a normal user. If this bothers you, run configure with --disable-path-info. [in our package --disable-path-info is default - TF] - A longstanding bug wrt "sudo -l" has been fixed that could cause "sudo -l" to complain about non-existent syntax errors. - When configured with --with-tty-tickets the filename is now "user:tty" (was "user.tty") since a username could have a '.' in it. |
