419) Visudo now does its own fork/exec instead of calling system(3).
-420) Call clean_env very early in main() for paranoia's sake. Idea from

+420) Allow special characters (including '#') to be embedded in pathnames
if quoted by a '\\'. The quoted chars will be dealt with by fnmatch().
Unfortunately, 'sudo -l' still prints the '\\'.

of innetgr(3).

extra paranoia checks in system libraries for setuid programs.
-427) Environment munging is now done by hand. The environment is zeroed
+426) Environment munging is now done by hand. The environment is zeroed
upon sudo startup and a new environment is built before the command
is executed. This means we don't rely on getenv(3), putenv(3),
or setenv(3).
-428) Added a class of environment variables that are only cleared if they
+427) Added a class of environment variables that are only cleared if they
contain '/' or '%' characters.
-429) Use stashed user_gid when checking against exempt gid since sudo
+428) Use stashed user_gid when checking against exempt gid since sudo
sets its gid to SUDOERS_GID, making getgid() return that, not the
real gid. Fixes problem with setting exempt group == SUDOERS_GID.
Fix from Paul Kranenburg.

authenticate successfully.

a clean slate. Also implemented env_keep Defaults option
to specify variables to be preserved when resetting the
environment.

to modify the builtin list of environment variables to remove.

+434) If timestamp_timeout < 0 then the timestamp never expires. This
allows users to manage their own timestamps and create or delete
them via 'sudo -v' and 'sudo -k' respectively.
-436) Authentication routines that use sudo's tgetpass() can now use
+435) Authentication routines that use sudo's tgetpass() now accept
^C or ^Z at the password prompt and sudo will act appropriately.

file for sanity.

skeyaccess(3) use that to determine whether or not to allow
a normal Unix password or just S/Key.

the 'fqdn' option is set.

appear in sudoers--now it does.

a /usr/include/paths.h file that defines _PATH_SENDMAIL.
-444) Removed the "secure_path" Defaults option as it does not work and
+443) Removed the "secure_path" Defaults option as it does not work and
cannot work until the parser is overhauled.
-445) Added new -P flag and "preserve_groups" sudoers option to cause
+444) Added new -P flag and "preserve_groups" sudoers option to cause
sudo to preserve the group vector instead of setting it to that
of the target user. Previously, if the target user was root
the group vector was not changed. Now it is always changed unless
the -P flag or "preserve_groups" option was given.
-446) If find_path() fails as root, try again as the invoking user (useful

for NFS). Idea from Chip Capelik.

the passwd/shadow file gets closed.

available.

when 'sudo -V' is run as root.

better job of parsing command arguments in the sudoers file.
-451) Wrap each call to syslog() with openlog()/closelog() since some

things (such as PAM) may call closelog(3) behind sudo's back.

specified a target uid and that uid exists in the password database.

PAM is in use. On Linux this often sets resource limits.

is writable, install things normally but don't set owner and mode.
