Ideally sudo could use the default locale for the system but there is no portable way of determining that.  It is probably safest to just use ctime().

Comment 2 Todd C. Miller 2011-01-28 16:15:05 MST

Sudo 1.7.5 will do logging and email sending are in the locale specified by the "sudoers_locale" setting ("C" by default).  Email send by sudo will include MIME headers when the sudoers locale is not "C".

Comment 3 Todd C. Miller 2011-03-03 09:52:29 MST

Fixed in sudo 1.7.5 and 1.8.0.
