Description nick mcfarlane 2007-03-25 13:35:09 MDT

env_keep does not work. i've tried all options of:
Defaults env_keep=*
and
Defaults env_keep="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
and
Defaults env_keep+="..."

But if I compare env to sudo env, that variable is not present.

I also tried :
Defaults env_reset, env_keep=*
Since there seemed to be an earlier bug in this area. But no joy.

The problem is that your dynamic loader (ld-linux.so) removes those environment variables from the environment before sudo is even executed.
