Description Martin Pitt 2008-03-17 08:26:16 MDT

When building with --with-secure-path (as we do in the Debian and Ubuntu packages), it is pretty hard to customize this setting locally. $PATH can be temporarily overridden with

  sudo PATH=... <command>

but not permanenty in sudoers. It would be nice if such a configuration option existed to change the internal default.

This feature is already present in sudo 1.7, which is currently in beta.  The "secure_path" sudoers option can be used to set the PATH.

Marking as fixed now that sudo 1.7.0 has a release candidate.
