It appears to be a change in sudo, which was upgraded from 1.6.9 to 1.7.2 (I'm guessing RH Bugzilla bug 500942 and/or 521903 have info, but they are marked private). You can see a brief description of the change in /usr/share/doc/sudo-*/UPGRADE, but the full details are in the WHATSNEW package in the sudo source (which the RHEL RPM doesn't include). You can see WHATSNEW in the online source tree browser here: http://sudo.ws/repos/sudo/raw-file/ac30d2d89c1e/WHATSNEW Yay for more undocumented and incompatible upgrades (especially in a tool critical to system management for many) in what is supposed to be a stable release of RHEL. :-( -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
