Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo
I was trying to make truecrypt to mount encrypted container without
asking my user's password after I provided my truecrypt password and
found out that I need to modify my 'sudo' configuration. After reading
bit more about sudo configuration I found out that custom configuration
should be placed in '/etc/sudoers.d' instead of modifying the default
'/etc/sudoers' file. I found out that my custom setting did not worked
any user who is member of the group 'admin', but worked find for any
other user. I found that last line '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' in default
'/etc/sudoers' file overwrites any setting set in '/etc/sudoers.d'. I
fixed it by moving the '#includedir /etc/sudoers.d' to be the last line.
I am attaching my patch. I think that this should be fixed in default
configuration file because I believe this file will get overwritten
during the next 'sudo' upgrade.
