I didn't think this would do much, but gave it a try anyway.... And it doesn't help. :/ The following command prior to the change resulted in root's umask being displayed: sudo -H -u root umask Whereas after the change in sudo I mentioned, the union of mine and root's is presented. I looked at the security issue mentioned in the commit log, and I'm not sure this change was required in order to fix it. Anyone have thoughts on why this change was made? I'd argue POLA was broken here. But I don't keep up with sudo developments (aside from using it). -- Regards, Eric
