When this option + is enabled, sudo will not check the file system when expanding wildcards. + This is faster but a side effect is that relative paths with wildcard + will no longer work. + + * New BSM audit support for systems that support it such as FreeBSD + and Mac OS X. + + * The file name specified with the #include directive may now include + a %h escape which is expanded to the short form of hostname. + + * The -k flag may now be specified along with a command, causing the + user's timestamp file to be ignored. + + * New support for Tivoli-based LDAP START_TLS, present in AIX. + + * New support for /etc/netsvc.conf on AIX. + What's new in Sudo 1.7.0? * Rewritten parser that converts sudoers into a set of data structures.
