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 FILES 4/Dec/1999 1.6.2 4 sudo(8) MAINTENANCE COMMANDS sudo(8) /etc/sudoers List of who can run what /var/run/sudo Directory containing timestamps 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 FILES /etc/sudoers List of who can run what /var/run/sudo Directory containing timestamps /tmp/.odus Same as above if no /var/run exists
The mixed up ENVIRONMENT and FILES sections were fixed in 1.6.3 The rest will be fixed in 1.6.4
