Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.4p4-2
Severity: minor
Hi there!
According to NEWS.Debian, with the latest version:
The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on the
target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option
is enabled (which is the case in the default configuration). Users
wishing to preserve the original values should use a sudoers entry like:
Defaults env_keep += HOME
to preserve the old value of HOME and
Defaults env_keep += MAIL
to preserve the old value of MAIL.
However, README.Debian contains:
The version of sudo that ships with Debian by default resets the
environment, as described by the "env_reset" flag in the sudoers file.
This implies that all environment variables are removed, except for
HOME, LOGNAME, PATH, SHELL, TERM, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY, XAUTHORIZATION,
XAPPLRESDIR, XFILESEARCHPATH, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_*,
and USER.
If I understand correctly, README.Debian is wrong in referring to the
HOME variable as preserved.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
