- update to sudo-1.8.3 - Fixed expansion of strftime() escape sequences in the log_dir sudoers setting. - Esperanto, Italian and Japanese translations from translationproject.org. - Added --enable-werror configure option for gcc's -Werror flag. - Visudo no longer assumes all editors support the +linenumber command line argument. It now uses a whitelist of editors known to support the option. - Fixed matching of network addresses when a netmask is specified but the address is not the first one in the CIDR block. - The configure script now check whether or not errno.h declares the errno variable. Previously, sudo would always declare errno itself for older systems that don't declare it in errno.h. - The NOPASSWD tag is now honored for denied commands too, which matches historic sudo behavior (prior to sudo 1.7.0). - Sudo now honors the DEREF setting in ldap.conf which controls how alias dereferencing is done during an LDAP search. - A symbol conflict with the pam_ssh_agent_auth PAM module that would cause a crash been resolved. - The inability to load a group provider plugin is no longer a fatal error. - A potential crash in the utmp handling code has been fixed. - Two PAM session issues have been resolved. In previous versions of sudo, the PAM session was opened as one user and closed as another. Additionally, if no authentication was performed, the PAM session would never be closed.

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'!
