A consequence of this change is that if you + do not have such a definition in sudoers, the PATH searched for commands + by sudo may be empty. + + Using explicit paths for each command you want to run with sudo will work + well enough to allow the sudoers file to be updated with a suitable entry + if one is not already present and you choose to not accept the updated + version provided by the package. + + -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:33:11 -0600 + +sudo (1.7.4p4-2) unstable; urgency=low + + 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 (which is the case in the default configuration).
