1 sudo (1.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
3 The sudo package is no longer configured using --with-secure-path.
4 Instead, the provided sudoers file now contains a line declaring
5 'Defaults secure_path=' with the same path content that was previously
6 hard-coded in the binary. A consequence of this change is that if you
7 do not have such a definition in sudoers, the PATH searched for commands
10 Using explicit paths for each command you want to run with sudo will work
11 well enough to allow the sudoers file to be updated with a suitable entry
12 if one is not already present and you choose to not accept the updated
13 version provided by the package.

17 sudo (1.7.4p4-2) unstable; urgency=low
19 The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on the
20 target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option
21 is enabled (which is the case in the default configuration). Users
22 wishing to preserve the original values should use a sudoers entry like:
23 Defaults env_keep += HOME
24 to preserve the old value of HOME and
25 Defaults env_keep += MAIL
26 to preserve the old value of MAIL.
28 The change in handling of HOME is known to affect programs like pbuilder.

32 sudo (1.6.8p12-5) unstable; urgency=low
34 The sudo package is no longer configured --with-exempt=sudo. If you
35 depend on members of group sudo being able to run sudo without needing
36 a password, you will need to put "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in
37 /etc/sudoers to preserve equivalent functionality.
