    Bug #865.
 
+ * Sudo now sets the silent flag when opening the PAM session except

+   the pam_lastlog module from printing the last login information
+   for each sudo command.  Bug #867.

+ * Fixed the default AIX hard resource limit for the maximum number
+   of files a user may have open.  If no hard limit for "nofiles"
+   is explicitly set in /etc/security/limits, the default should
+   be "unlimited".  Previously, the default hard limit was 8196.
