After discussions with Theo we've agreed to move sudo from base to ports. That way people who want sudo can run a modern version, as opposed to the ancient thing in base. This also makes it possible to have an ldap flavor.
I need some help from ports@ to make this happen. I have the beginnings of a port but am unusure how to have an /etc/sudoers file installed if there is not already one present. Ports that wrap sudo will also need to add a dependency on the sudo package. My WIP port of sudo 1.8.13 is: ftp://ftp.sudo.ws/pub/millert/sudo/sudo-port.shar - todd
