Topic

An updated sudo package that fixes one bug is now available.

Description

The sudo (superuser do) utility allows system administrators to give
certain users the ability to run commands as root with logging.

This updated sudo package fixes the following bug:

  • sudo was unable to send email updates concerning sudo actions because

"mailerflags" and "mailerpath" were not set. Sudo had to be recompiled with
sendmail installed in the build environment to enable the
auto-configuration system guess the right default values for "mailerflags"
and "mailerpath". This update has compiled in default values for
"mailerflags" and "mailerpath" and sudo is now able to send email about
sudo actions after install.

All users of sudo are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
