Comment (by fo):
--with-timedir=DIR deprecated
use now:
{{{
--with-rundir=DIR
Set the directory to be used for sudo-specific files that
do not survive a system reboot. This is typically where
the time stamp directory is located. By default, configure
will use the first existing directory in the following list:
/var/run, /var/db, /var/lib, /var/adm, /usr/adm
This directory should be cleared when the system reboots.
On systems that lack /var/run, the default rundir and vardir
may be the same. In this case, only the ts directory inside
the rundir needs to be cleared at boot time.
}}}
Since we have /var/run and it apparently is cleared on reboot, I can
replace
{{{
--with-timedir=/var/lib/sudo
by
--with-rundir=/var/run/sudo
}}}
Or, as suggested, just remove --with-timedir and leave the application use
its defaults.
As this is a security issue, I will sopt with sudo and go to another
package, while waiting some input, please.
Thanks in advance.
