Description Ken Foskey 2002-04-28 18:51:58 MDT

My administrator just used visudo to edit config file he duplicated a working
entry.  I have verified this on Debain Woody sudo V1.6.6.  Original system is
AIX with sudo 1.6.2

operator  ALL=/some-script

with the following

testname  All=/somescript

The lower case 'All' was accepted by visudo and was not by the sudo command.

This should produce an error / warning.

The problem is that visudo has no way of knowing that "All" is not a hostname.
 The only reason sudo doesn't accept it is that the machine you are running it
on is not named "All".
