Changelog for sudo-1.7.2-2.1.i586.rpm :

* Mon Jul 13 2009 prusnakAATTsuse.cz- updated to 1.7.2
* A new #includedir directive is available in sudoers. This can be used to implement an /etc/sudo.d directory. Files in an includedir are not edited by visudo unless they contain a syntax error.
* The -g option did not work properly when only setting the group (and not the user). Also, in -l mode the wrong user was displayed for sudoers entries where only the group was allowed to be set.
* Fixed a problem with the alias checking in visudo which could prevent visudo from exiting.
* Sudo will now correctly parse the shell-style /etc/environment file format used by pam_env on Linux.
* When doing password and group database lookups, sudo will only cache an entry by name or by id, depending on how the entry was looked up. Previously, sudo would cache by both name and id from a single lookup, but this breaks sites that have multiple password or group database names that map to the same uid or gid.
* User and group names in sudoers may now be enclosed in double quotes to avoid having to escape special characters.
* BSM audit fixes when changing to a non-root uid.
* Experimental non-Unix group support. Currently only works with Quest Authorization Services and allows Active Directory groups fixes for Minix-3.
* For Netscape/Mozilla-derived LDAP SDKs the certificate and key paths may be specified as a directory or a file. However, version 5.0 of the SDK only appears to support using a directory (despite documentation to the contrary). If SSL client initialization fails and the certificate or key paths look like they could be default file name, strip off the last path element and try again.
* A setenv() compatibility fix for Linux systems, where a NULL value is treated the same as an empty string and the variable name is checked against the NULL pointer.
* Mon Apr 27 2009 prusnakAATTsuse.cz- updated to 1.7.1
* A new Defaults option \"pwfeedback\" will cause sudo to provide visual feedback when the user is entering a password.
* A new Defaults option \"fast_glob\" will cause sudo to use the fnmatch() function for file name globbing instead of glob(). When this option is enabled, sudo will not check the file system when expanding wildcards. This is faster but a side effect is that relative paths with wildcard will no longer work.
* The file name specified with the #include directive may now include a %h escape which is expanded to the short form of hostname.
* The -k flag may now be specified along with a command, causing the user\'s timestamp file to be ignored.
* The unused alias checks in visudo now handle the case of an alias referring to another alias.
* Mon Jan 26 2009 prusnakAATTsuse.cz- updated to 1.7.0
* Rewritten parser that converts sudoers into a set of data structures. This eliminates a number of ordering issues and makes it possible to apply sudoers Defaults entries before searching for the command. It also adds support for per-command Defaults specifications.
* Sudoers now supports a #include facility to allow the inclusion of other sudoers-format files.
* Sudo\'s -l (list) flag has been enhanced: o applicable Defaults options are now listed o a command argument can be specified for testing whether a user may run a specific command. o a new -U flag can be used in conjunction with sudo -l to allow root (or a user with sudo ALL) to list another user\'s privileges.
* A new -g flag has been added to allow the user to specify a primary group to run the command as. The sudoers syntax has been extended to include a group section in the Runas specification.
* A uid may now be used anywhere a username is valid.
* The secure_path run-time Defaults option has been restored.
* Password and group data is now cached for fast lookups.
* The file descriptor at which sudo starts closing all open files is now configurable via sudoers and, optionally, the command line.
* visudo will now warn about aliases that are defined but not used.
* The -i and -s command line flags now take an optional command to be run via the shell. Previously, the argument was passed to the shell as a script to run.
* Improved LDAP support. SASL authentication may now be used in conjunction when connecting to an LDAP server. The krb5_ccname parameter in ldap.conf may be used to enable Kerberos.
* Support for /etc/nsswitch.conf. LDAP users may now use nsswitch.conf to specify the sudoers order. E.g.: sudoers: ldap files to check LDAP, then /etc/sudoers. The default is files, even when LDAP support is compiled in. This differs from sudo 1.6 where LDAP was always consulted first.
* Support for /etc/environment on AIX and Linux. If sudo is run with the -i flag, the contents of /etc/environment are used to populate the new environment that is passed to the command being run.
* Sudo now ignores user .ldaprc files as well as system LDAP defaults. All LDAP configuration is now in /etc/ldap.conf (or whichever file was specified by configure\'s --with-ldap-conf-file option). If you are using TLS, you may now need to specify: tls_checkpeer no in sudo\'s ldap.conf unless ldap.conf references a valid certificate authority file(s).
* If no terminal is available or if the new -A flag is specified, sudo will use a helper program to read the password if one is configured. Typically, this is a graphical password prompter such as ssh-askpass.
* A new Defaults option, \"mailfrom\" that sets the value of the \"From:\" field in the warning/error mail. If unspecified, the login name of the invoking user is used.
* Resource limits are now set to the default value for the user the command is being run as on AIX systems.
* A new Defaults option, \"env_file\" that refers to a file containing environment variables to be set in the command being run.
* A new -n flag is available which may be used to indicate that sudo should not prompt the user for a password and, instead, exit with an error if authentication is required.
* A new Defaults option, \"sudoers_locale\" that can be used to set the locale to be used when parsing the sudoers file.
* sudoedit now checks the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables to make sure sudoedit is not re-invoking itself (or sudo). This allows one to set EDITOR to sudoedit without getting into an infinite loop for programs that need to invoke an editor such as crontab(1). Also added SUDO_EDITOR environment variable which is used by sudoedit in preference to EDITOR/VISUAL.
* The versions of glob(3) and fnmatch(3) bundled with sudo now support POSIX character classes.
* If sudo needs to prompt for a password and it is unable to disable echo (and no askpass program is defined), it will refuse to run unless the \"visiblepw\" Defaults option has been specified.
* Prior to version 1.7.0, hitting enter/return at the Password: prompt would exit sudo. In sudo 1.7.0 and beyond, this is treated as an empty password. To exit sudo, the user must now press ^C or ^D at the prompt.
* Wed Aug 20 2008 prusnakAATTsuse.cz- enabled SELinux support [Fate#303662]- added comment about !env_reset into sudoers file
* Wed Aug 06 2008 prusnakAATTsuse.cz- updated to 1.6.9p17
* The -i flag should imply resetting the environment, as it did in sudo version prior to 1.6.9. Also, the -i and -E flags are mutually exclusive.
* Fixed the configure test for dirfd() under Linux.
* Fixed test for whether -lintl is required to link.
* Changed how sudo handles the child process when sending mail. This fixes a problem on Linux with the mail_always option.

* There was a missing space before the ldap libraries in the Makefile for some configurations.
* LDAPS_PORT may not be defined on older Solaris LDAP SDKs.

* The URI specifier can now be used in ldap.conf even when the LDAP SDK doesn\'t support ldap_initialize().
* New %p prompt escape that expands to the user whose password is being prompted, as specified by the rootpw, targetpw and runaspw sudoers flags. Based on a diff from Patrick Schoenfeld.
* Added a configure check for the ber_set_option() function.
* Fixed a compilation problem with the HP-UX K&R C compiler.
* Revamped the Kerberos 5 ticket verification code.
* Added support for the checkpeer ldap.conf variable for netscape-based LDAP SDKs.
* Fixed a problem where an incomplete password could be echoed to the screen if there was a read timeout.
* Sudo will now set the nproc resource limit to unlimited on Linux systems to work around Linux\'s setuid() resource limit semantics. On PAM systems the resource limits will be reset by pam_limits.so before the command is executed.
* SELinux support that can be used to implement role based access control (RBAC). A role and (optional) type may be specified in sudoers or on the command line. These are then used in the security context that the command is run as.
* Fixed a Kerberos 5 compilation problem with MIT Kerberos.
* Fixed an invalid assumption in the PAM conversation function introduced in version 1.6.9p9. The conversation function may be called for non-password reading purposes as well.
* Fixed freeing an uninitialized pointer in -l mode, introduced in version 1.6.9p13.
* Check /etc/sudoers after LDAP even if the user was found in LDAP. This allows Defaults options in /etc/sudoers to take effect.
