- Update to 1.9.0rc4 * Various spelling fixes. Bug #925. * The struct passwd passed to PAM session modules is now looked up by user name, not user-ID, when possible. Fixes a problem with the pam_limits module and configurations where multiple user names share the same ID. Debian bug #734752. * Sudo command line options that take a value may only be specified once. This is to help guard against problems caused by poorly written scripts that invoke sudo with user-controlled input. Bug #924. - Update to 1.9.0rc3 * The sudo-logsrvd package now installs a systemd service on Linux distros that use systemd. * The I/O plugin is now closed before the policy plugin on command exit. * When copying the edited files to the original path, sudoedit now allocates any additional space needed before writing. Previously, it could truncate the destination file if the file system was full. Bug #922. * Fixed a compilation issue with Python 3.8. * Changed how TLS connections are made to the log server. Instead of using a starttls type approach where TLS and plaintext connections share the same point we now use separate ports for plaintext and TLS connections. A (tls) flag can be specified after the host:port to indicate that the connection should be secured with TLS. This avoids a potention man-in-the-middle attack that could cause the connection to be forced into plaintext mode. Unfortunately, this change breaks compatibility with the previous release candidates.

In the default (ie unconfigured) configuration sudo asks for root password. This allows to use an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly installed system. When configuring sudo, please make sure to delete the two following lines: Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root %users ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'!
