========================================

Sudo uses a `configure' script to probe the capabilities and type

`configure' changes; you should check to see if your platform can

access DCE via PAM before using this option.

--with-logincap

Enable support for BSD login classes on FreeBSD and BSD/OS. This

adds support for the login classes specified in /etc/login.conf.

By default, a login class is not applied unless the 'use_loginclass'

option is defined in sudoers or the user specifies a class on the

command line. It does *not*, however cause sudo to use BSD

authentication.

--disable-sia

Disable SIA support. This is the "Security Integration Architecture"

on Digital UNIX. If you disable SIA sudo will use its own

Line 237

It should only be used when another, alternate, authentication

scheme is in use.

--with-editor=path

Specify the default editor used by visudo (and the only editor used

unless --with-env-editor is specified). The default is the path

to vi on your system.

--with-env-editor

Makes visudo consult the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables before

falling back on the default editor. Note that this may create a

security hole as most editors allow a user to get a shell (which would

be a root shell and hence, no logging).

--with-otp-only

This option is now just an alias for --without-passwd.

--without-lecture

Don't print the lecture the first time a user runs sudo.

--with-editor=path

Specify the default editor used by visudo (and the only editor used

unless --with-env-editor is specified). The default is the path

to vi on your system.

--with-env-editor

By default, sudo requires the user to authenticate via a

password or similar means. This options causes sudo to

It is not possible to access the sudoers file via NFS on Linux.

This is due to a bug in the Linux client-side NFS implementation.

It has been fixed in the developement kernel but, as of Aug 27, 1999,

It has been fixed in the developement kernel but, as of Aug 27,

the fixes have not made it into the mainstream kernel.

1999, the fixes have not made it into the mainstream kernel.

There is a workaround on the sudo ftp site, linux_nfs.patch,

if you need to NFS-mount sudoers on Linux.

Mac OS X:

It has been reported that for sudo to work on Mac OS X it must

You'll probably need libcrypt_i.a available via anonymous ftp

from sosco.sco.com. The necessary files are /SLS/lng225b.Z

and /SLS/lng225b.ltr.Z.

Dynix:

Some people have experienced problems building sudo with gcc

on Dynix. If you experience problems compiling sudo using gcc

on Dynix, try using the native compiler (cc). You can do so

by removing the config.cache file and then re-running configure

with the --with-CC=cc option.
