Name        : sudo
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 1.8.8
Release     : 1.fc20
URL         : http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/
Summary     : Allows restricted root access for specified users
Description :
Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain
users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a
per-command basis.  It is not a replacement for the shell.  Features
include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a
per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear
audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo
command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)
on many different machines.

Update Information:

- update to 1.8.8
- major changes & fixes:
  - LDAP SASL support now works properly with Kerberos

  - user messages are now always displayed in the user's locale, even when
    the same message is being logged or mailed in a different locale.
  - log files created by sudo now explicitly have the group set to group
    ID 0 rather than relying on BSD group semantics
  - sudo now stores its libexec files in a sudo subdirectory instead of in
    libexec itself

    installed by default
  - the paths to ldap.conf and ldap.secret may now be specified as arguments
    to the sudoers plugin in the sudo.conf file

    full list.
