Prior to sudo 1.6.8, if /var/run did not exist, sudo would put |
|
the timestamp files in /tmp/.odus. As of sudo 1.6.8, the |
|
timestamp files will be placed in /var/adm/sudo or /usr/adm/sudo |
|
if there is no /var/run directory. This directory will be |
|
created if it does not already exist. |

Previously, a sudoers entry that explicitly prohibited running |
|
a command as a certain user did not override a previous entry |
|
allowing the same command. This has been fixed in sudo 1.6.8 |
|
such that the last match is now used (as it is documented). |
|
Hopefully no one was depending on the previous (buggy) beghavior. |
