Description Chris Pepper 2000-10-08 15:00:39 MDT
TIMEOUT will be ignored and sudo will log and complain.
       This is done to keep a user from creating his/her own
       timestamp with a bogus date on system that allow users to
       give away files.
"date on system that allow users to give away files." should be
"date on systems that allow users to give away files."


I saw a mention of HISTORY in the distribution. I doubt it's installed under
the consumer Mac OS PB, and if it is, have no idea where. Please
consider putting it up as a web page and providing a direct URL too.




Also, ENVIRONMENT and FILES are duplicated and intermingled:

ENVIRONMENT
       sudo utilizes the following environment variables:

        PATH                   Set to a sane value if SECURE_PATH is set
        SHELL                  Used to determine shell to run with -s option
        USER                   Set to the target user (root unless the -u option
                               is specified)
        HOME                   In -s or -H mode (or if sudo was configured with
                               the --enable-shell-sets-home option), set to
                               homedir of the target user.
        SUDO_PROMPT            Used as the default password prompt
        SUDO_COMMAND           Set to the command run by sudo
        SUDO_USER              Set to the login of the user who invoked sudo
        SUDO_UID               Set to the uid of the user who invoked sudo
        SUDO_GID               Set to the gid of the user who invoked sudo
        SUDO_PS1               If set, PS1 will be set to its value

The mixed up ENVIRONMENT and FILES sections were fixed in 1.6.3
The rest will be fixed in 1.6.4
