Execute some commands as root

Edit Package sudo

Sudo is a command that allows users to execute some commands as root.
The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which users have
access to sudo and which commands they can run. Sudo logs all its
activities to syslogd, so the system administrator can keep an eye on
things. Sudo asks for the password for initializing a check period of a
given time N (where N is defined at installation and is set to 5
minutes by default).

- update to 1.8.8
- drop sudo-plugins-sudoers-sssd.patch (upstream)
  * Removed a warning on PAM systems with stacked auth modules
    where the first module on the stack does not succeed.
  * Sudo, sudoreplay and visudo now support GNU-style long options.
  * The -h (--host) option may now be used to specify a host name.
    This is currently only used by the sudoers plugin in conjunction
    with the -l (--list) option.
  * Sudo's LDAP SASL support now works properly with Kerberos.
    Previously, the SASL library was unable to locate the user's
    credential cache.
  * It is now possible to set the nproc resource limit to unlimited
    via pam_limits on Linux (bug #565).
  * New "pam_service" and "pam_login_service" sudoers options
    that can be used to specify the PAM service name to use.
  * New "pam_session" and "pam_setcred" sudoers options that
    can be used to disable PAM session and credential support.
  * The sudoers plugin now properly supports UIDs and GIDs
    that are larger than 0x7fffffff on 32-bit platforms.
  * Fixed a visudo bug introduced in sudo 1.8.7 where per-group
    Defaults entries would cause an internal error.
  * If the "tty_tickets" sudoers option is enabled (the default),
    but there is no tty present, sudo will now use a ticket file
    based on the parent process ID.  This makes it possible to support
    the normal timeout behavior for the session.
  * Fixed a problem running commands that change their process
    group and then attempt to change the terminal settings when not
    running the command in a pseudo-terminal.  Previously, the process
    would receive SIGTTOU since it was effectively a background
    process.  Sudo will now grant the child the controlling tty and (forwarded request 202594 from vitezslav_cizek)
