Bug#349085: sudo: use with synaptic gets error

2006-01-21 Thread Hugo Vanwoerkom

Hi,

After trying for two days in vain to get synaptic to run with the new 
version of sudo, I am now of the opinion that if a change like this is 
made to the  Stable Distribution, making all previous versions fail, 
then there ought to be more of an indication of what to change than 
Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF).


This is the failing /etc/sudoers:

...
Defaults:ALL  !authenticate
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias BOOT = /sbin/reboot
Cmnd_Alias PO = /sbin/halt
Cmnd_Alias CH = /usr/bin/realplay
Cmnd_Alias PP = /usr/doc/bclock/aclock
Cmnd_Alias UM = /bin/umount
Cmnd_Alias DD = /usr/sbin/synaptic
Cmnd_Alias WV = /bin/mount
Cmnd_Alias CD = /usr/bin/pon
Cmnd_Alias CDO = /usr/bin/poff
Cmnd_Alias BC = /usr/bin/chmod
Cmnd_Alias CM = /bin/chmod
Cmnd_Alias RM = /bin/rm
Cmnd_Alias MC = /usr/bin/mc
Cmnd_Alias WG = /usr/bin/chvt
Cmnd_Alias KS = /usr/bin/do_kill_sound
Cmnd_Alias VS = /usr/doc/aasensors.hda5/aasensors
Cmnd_Alias EX = /usr/bin/do_exitfunction
Cmnd_Alias ST = /usr/bin/do_startfunction
Cmnd_Alias NI = /usr/bin/nice
# User privilege specification
ALL ALL = BOOT, PO, WV, CH, PP, CD, CDO, UM, DD, BC, CM, RM, MC, WG, KS, 
VS, EX, ST, NI

...

Neither adding

Defaults = !env_reset

nor

Defaults:ALL !env_reset

enabled the user to use synaptic.

Hi,

I apologize, I saw the security announcement too late that the 
environmental variables usage was altered.

The bug is a user error.

Regards,

Hugo Vanwoerkom

Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p7-1.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Using this version of sudo with synaptic gets:

(synaptic:17753): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

That did not happen with the previous version 1.6.8p7-1.2
