3 The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on the
4 target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option
5 is enabled (which is the case in the default configuration). Users
6 wishing to preserve the original values should use a sudoers entry like:
7 Defaults env_keep += HOME
8 to preserve the old value of HOME and
9 Defaults env_keep += MAIL
10 to preserve the old value of MAIL.
12 The change in handling of HOME is known to affect programs like pbuilder.

18 The sudo package is no longer configured --with-exempt=sudo. If you
19 depend on members of group sudo being able to run sudo without needing
20 a password, you will need to put "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in
21 /etc/sudoers to preserve equivalent functionality.
