- updated to sudo-1.8.2
* Sudo, visudo, sudoreplay and the sudoers plug-in now have natural
language support (NLS). This can be disabled by passing configure
the --disable-nls option. Sudo will use gettext(), if available,
to display translated messages. All translations are coordinated
via The Translation Project, http://translationproject.org/.
* Plug-ins are now loaded with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag instead of
RTLD_LOCAL. This fixes missing symbol problems in PAM modules
on certain platforms, such as FreeBSD and SuSE Linux Enterprise.
* I/O logging is now supported for commands run in background mode
(using sudo's -b flag).
* Group ownership of the sudoers file is now only enforced when
the file mode on sudoers allows group readability or writability.
* Visudo now checks the contents of an alias and warns about cycles
when the alias is expanded.
* If the user specifes a group via sudo's -g option that matches
the target user's group in the password database, it is now
allowed even if no groups are present in the Runas_Spec.
* The sudo Makefiles now have more complete dependencies which are
automatically generated instead of being maintained manually.
* The "use_pty" sudoers option is now correctly passed back to the
sudo front end. This was missing in previous versions of sudo
1.8 which prevented "use_pty" from being honored.
* "sudo -i command" now works correctly with the bash version
2.0 and higher. Previously, the .bash_profile would not be
sourced prior to running the command unless bash was built with
NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS defined.
* When matching groups in the sudoers file, sudo will now match
based on the name of the group instead of the group ID. This can
substantially reduce the number of group lookups for sudoers
