A Brief history of sudo(8):
|
|
|
|
The sudo philosophy originated at SUNY-Buffalo in the early
|
|
1980's. In the Summer of 1986, Garth Snyder enhanced sudo
|
|
and released it to the public. For the next 5 years,
|
|
sudo was fed and watered by a handful of folks
|
|
at CU-Boulder, including Bob Coggeshall, Bob Manchek, and
|
|
Trent Hein.
|
|
|
|
In 1991, the University of Colorado and a consulting firm
|
|
named "The Root Group" both paid (unbeknownst to each
|
|
other) a group of programmers to add enhancements to sudo.
|
|
Instead of using existing code, they started from scratch.
|
|
These programmers (Dave Hieb and Jeff Nieusma) eventually
|
|
released the new code under the GNU general license.
|
|
|
|
sudo, in its current form, is maintained at the University
|
|
of Colorado by:

fixes should be mailed to sudo-bugs@cs.colorado.edu.
