What's new in Sudo 1.7?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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") 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-22 22:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* A uid may now be used anywhere a username is valid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-02-12 21:16:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* The "secure_path" run-time Defaults option has been restored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-21 00:43:19 +00:00
|
|
|
* Password and group data is now cached for fast lookups.
|
2005-02-12 21:16:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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.
