>From man sudoers: env_reset If set, sudo will reset the environment to only contain the LOGNAME, MAIL, SHELL, USER, USERNAME and the SUDO_* variables. Any variables in the caller's environment that match the env_keep and env_check lists are then added. The default contents of the env_keep and env_check lists are displayed when sudo is run by root with the -V option. If the secure_path option is set, its value will be used for the PATH environment variable. This flag is on by default HTH Best regards Peter K
