-=head1 A Brief History of Sudo:
-
-=head3 The Early Years
-
-Sudo was first conceived and implemented by Bob Coggeshall and Cliff
-Spencer around 1980 at the Department of Computer Science at
-SUNY/Buffalo. It ran on a VAX-11/750 running 4.1BSD. An updated
-version, credited to Phil Betchel, Cliff Spencer, Gretchen Phillips,
-John LoVerso and Don Gworek, was posted to the net.sources Usenet
-newsgroup in December of 1985.
-
-=head3 Sudo at CU-Boulder
-
-In the Summer of 1986, Garth Snyder released an enhanced version
-of sudo. 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.
-
-=head3 Root Group Sudo
-
-In 1991, Dave Hieb and Jeff Nieusma wrote a new version of sudo
-with an enhanced sudoers format under contract to a consulting firm
-called "The Root Group". This version was later released under the
-GNU public license.
-
-=head3 CU Sudo
-
-In 1994, after maintaining sudo informally within CU-Boulder for
-some time, Todd C. Miller made a public release of "CU sudo" (version
-1.3) with bug fixes and support for more operating systems. The
-"CU" was added to differentiate it from the "official" version from
-"The Root Group".
-
-In 1995, a new parser for the sudoers file was contributed by Chris
-Jepeway. The new parser was a proper grammar (unlike the old one)
-and could work with both sudo and visudo (previously they had
-slightly different parsers).
-
-In 1996, Todd, who had been maintaining sudo for several years in
-his spare time, moved distribution of sudo from a CU-Boulder ftp
-site to his domain, courtesan.com.
-
-=head3 Just Plain Sudo
-
-In 1999, the "CU" prefix was dropped from the name since there had
-been no formal release of sudo from "The Root Group" since 1991
-(the original authors now work elsewhere). As of version 1.6, Sudo
-no longer contains any of the original "Root Group" code and is
-available under an ISC-style license.
-
-In 2001, the sudo web site, ftp site and mailing lists were moved
-from courtesan.com to the sudo.ws domain (sudo.org was already
-taken).
-
-=head3 LDAP Integration
-
-In 2003, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company contributed code written
-by Aaron Spangler to store the sudoers data in LDAP. These changes
-were incorporated into Sudo 1.6.8.
-
-=head3 New Parser
-
-In 2005, Todd rewrote the sudoers parser to better support the
-features that had been added in the past ten years. This new parser
-removes some limitations of the previous one, removes ordering
-constraints and adds support for including multiple sudoers files.
-
-=head3 Quest Sponsorship
-
-In 2010, Quest Software began sponsoring Sudo development by hiring
-Todd to work on Sudo as part of his full-time job.
-
-=head3 Present Day
-
-Sudo, in its current form, is maintained by:
-
- Todd C. Miller <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>
-
-Todd continues to enhance sudo and fix bugs.
