This is the CU version of sudo, release 1.3.1 patchlevel5.
|
|
|
|
Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges
|
|
to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few
|
|
privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.
|
|
|
|
Before you try and build sudo, *please* make sure you have the current
|
|
version. The latest sudo may always be gotten via anonymous ftp
|
|
from ftp.cs.colorado.edu in the directory /pub/sysadmin/utilities/.
|
|
The distribution is cu-sudo.v1.3.1plN.tar.Z where N is the patchlevel
|
|
(for patchlevel 0 there is no plN suffix).
|
|
|
|
For a history of CU sudo please see the HISTORY file that came with the
|
|
release. Please note that while this source is based on the Root
|
|
Group's sudo 1.1, the code has been changed significantly, so please
|
|
do not bother them with bugs in CU sudo. Bug reports for this sudo
|
|
should be sent to sudo-bugs@cs.colorado.edu.
|
|
|
|
CU sudo 1.3.1 is mostly a cleanup of the sudo 1.3 code including bug fixes,
|
|
major code reworkings, portability changes with a few extra features. See
|
|
the CHANGES file for the full scoop.
|
|
Patchlevel 5 includes a completely rewritten parser contributed by
|
|
Chris Jepeway, an easier to use visudo, and an updated configure script
|
|
along with the usual bug fixes and portability changes.
|
|
|
|
Note that sudo now uses a "configure script." You should be able to just
|
|
type "./configure" and to generate the Makefiles, config.h and pathnames.h.
|
|
Sudo should build "out of the box" for the OS's listed in SUPPORTED.
|
|
Regardless, you should read the INSTALL file before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
Also note that sudo options are now configured in options.h instead of
|
|
the Makefile or sudo.h. For more info see the INSTALL file. If you
|
|
need to make changes, please send them to sudo-bugs@cs.colorado.edu
|
|
|
|
MAILING LISTS:
|
|
|
|
Please send bugs, problems, comments, etc to sudo-bugs@cs.colorado.edu
|
|
There is a mailing list that receives announcements whenever a new
|
|
version of sudo is released. You can subscribe to it by sending a
|
|
message to "majordomo@cs.colorado.edu" that includes the line
|
|
"subscribe sudo-announce". There is also a list for people working
|
|
on sudo. The command to add yourself is "subscribe sudo-workers".
