See the sudo_plugin manual for +information on writing your own plugin. + +The sample policy plugin is not built or installed by default. To +build and install the plugin, change to the plugins/sample directory +and run "make". It can be installed by running "make install" as +the superuser from the same directory. + +To actually use the sample plugin, you'll need to modify the +/etc/sudo.conf file. Caution: you should not make changes to +/etc/sudo.conf without also having a root shell open repair things +in case of an error. To enable the plugin, first comment out any +existing policy Plugin line in /etc/sudo.conf, for example: + + Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so + +Then add a line for the sample plugin: + + Plugin sample_policy sample_plugin.so + +You may need to create /etc/sudo.conf if it does not already exist. + +Note that you may only have a single policy plugin defined. -- 2.50.1
