Package: sudo Version: 1.6.9p9-1 Followup-For: Bug #388659 I believe it would have been better to fix the manual page to say that visudo (and sudoedit) use /usr/bin/editor.
I find it rather annoying to have to setup update-alternatives and edit the sudoers file to add: Defaults editor=/usr/bin/editor It seems that all tools automatically invoke an editor invoke the prefered editor selected by update-alternatives except visudo and sudoedit. Personally I also would have nothing against renaming visudo to editsudo and have visudo be shell script that sets $EDITOR to vi and invoke editsudo. Please consider reverting to using /usr/bin/editor by default for consistencies sake. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
