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).

- restore accidentally dropped suse-specific patches 

  * remove CVE-2013-1775
  * remove CVE-2013-1776
  * The non-Unix group plugin is now supported when sudoers data is stored in LDAP.
  * User messages are now always displayed in the user's locale, even when the
  same message is being logged or mailed in a different locale.  
  * Log files created by sudo now explicitly have the group set to group ID 0
  rather than relying on BSD group semantics (which may not be the default).
  * A new exec_background sudoers option can be used to initially run the 
  command without read access to the terminal when running a command in a 
  pseudo-tty. 
  * Sudo now produces better error messages when there is an error in the sudo.conf file.
  * Two new settings have been added to sudo.conf to give the admin better control of 
  how group database queries are performed.
  * There is now a standalone sudo.conf manual page.
  * New support for specifying a SHA-2 digest along with the command in sudoers.
  Supported hash types are sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512. See the description
  of Digest_Spec in the sudoers manual or the description of sudoCommand in the
  sudoers.ldap manual for details.
  * Fixed potential false positives in visudo's alias cycle detection.
  * Sudo now only builds Position Independent Executables (PIE) by default on Linux
  systems and verifies that a trivial test program builds and runs.
