Description Tim 2009-01-09 17:34:44 MST

sudo <command> hangs intermittently when there is an command alias entry in sudoers that references <dir>/* where <dir>/* references a GSA mounted directory that is mounted using automountd.  When this hang happens restarting the automountd fixes the problem.  Since this problem is intermittent we haven't been able to reproduce the error with some specific steps, but sudo <command> did not hang at a previous version of sudo.  Note, the <dir>/* command alias does not contain the sudo or <command>

A "fast_glob" option has been added to sudo 1.7.1 which restores the old (fnmatch) behavior.  A beta version of sudo 1.7.1 may be downloaded from http://www.sudo.ws/devel.html
