Description Arthur D. 2009-09-29 13:35:51 MDT

Hello. I installed sudo with
./configure --with-secure-path=<some_path> ...

When I read man page of sudoers I got this:
...
This flag is off by default

in secure_path section.
This should be probably changed to inform the user what the default value is set to during compile time.

There's the bug in Gentoo bugtrack on this too:

This has been fixed in cvs and will be part of sudo 1.7.3
