overrides the default starting point at which B<sudo> begins
closing open file descriptors. This flag is I<off> by default.
=item env_editor
If set, B<visudo> will use the value of the EDITOR or VISUAL
environment variables before falling back on the default editor list.
Note that this may create a security hole as it allows the user to
run any arbitrary command as root without logging. A safer alternative
is to place a colon-separated list of editors in the C<editor>
variable. B<visudo> will then only use the EDITOR or VISUAL if
they match a value specified in C<editor>. This flag is I<@env_editor@> by
default.
=item env_reset
If set, B<sudo> will reset the environment to only contain the
LOGNAME, SHELL, USER, USERNAME and the C<SUDO_*> variables. Any
variables in the caller's environment that match the C<env_keep>

C<env_keep> and C<env_check> lists are displayed when B<sudo> is

is set, its value will be used for the C<PATH> environment variable.

=item fqdn
Set this flag if you want to put fully qualified hostnames in the
I<sudoers> file. I.e., instead of myhost you would use myhost.mydomain.edu.
You may still use the short form if you wish (and even mix the two).
Beware that turning on I<fqdn> requires B<sudo> to make DNS lookups
which may make B<sudo> unusable if DNS stops working (for example
if the machine is not plugged into the network). Also note that
you must use the host's official name as DNS knows it. That is,
you may not use a host alias (C<CNAME> entry) due to performance
issues and the fact that there is no way to get all aliases from
DNS. If your machine's hostname (as returned by the C<hostname>
command) is already fully qualified you shouldn't need to set
I<fqdn>. This flag is I<@fqdn@> by default.

rogue operators who would attempt to add roles to @sysconfdir@/sudoers.
When this option is present, @sysconfdir@/sudoers does not even need to exist.
