Package: sudo Version: 1.7.0-1 Severity: wishlist sudo provides a default /etc/sudoers with a commented-out line to allow members of group sudo to use sudo. This represents a convenient configuration: simply add users to group sudo to give them the ability to run commands as root.
Given that group sudo has no users by default, please consider enabling this example by default. This should not reduce the security of the default install, and it would remove one of the few remaining configuration changes I have to make on every new Debian system I install. Furthermore, this change would make it easier to enable the use of sudo by default in custom installers: just add the user to group sudo. I searched for any previous discussion about making this change to sudo, and didn't find anything; if I've missed something, please let me know. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. sudo suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
