Description Bdale Garbee 2009-08-31 15:42:25 MDT

One of the users of my Debian packages of sudo points out that if a user that's a member of a group that has permission to execute a given file without a password tries to execute that file when it does not exist, they get an unexpected result (prompting for a password).

See the text of the Debian bug report in the referenced URL for more details.

This may be related to Debian bug #303185, in which it's pointed out that when sudo checks for the existence and run-ability of a command, it doesn't seem to get the gid handling right?

See http://bugs.debian.org/303185 for more details.
