Description Kevin Zupan 2004-11-16 13:18:59 MST

On Tru64 5.1B, the _PATH_VARTMP define does not have a trailing / on it, and 
thus the tmp file created by sudoedit fails as it tries to create the file 
in /var/tmp<filename>.XXXXXXXXXX.  IMHO, when the tmpdir variable is created, 
it should be verified that the last character is a /, and if not that should be 
appended.

Thanx

How unfortunate that Digital chose to change this from Net/2.  The next sudo release will have a 
check for this.
