Description Todd C. Miller 2011-04-14 15:32:26 MDT

The tokenizer should have separate states for User_Specs, Alias_Specs and Defaults_Entries.  The first token parsed in the INITIAL state should determine which of those states to transition to.  This should help reduce some of the ambiguities.  As a side effect, it should be possible to no longer require that the last line in sudoers have a newline (hello emacs)
