Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p12-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

to cause less confustion it would be nice if the first paragrpah of
“SECURITY NOTES” in man sudo would mention that sudo is compiled with
env_reset as the default, as many users will check that paragraph when
they want to find out why their environment gets lost.

Suggestion (to be appended after the paragraph):
The Debian version of sudo also resets the environment as described by
the “env_reset” flag in sudoers(5). For more information see
/usr/share/doc/README.Debian


Thanks,
Joachim
