Re: OpenBSD string in sudo binary
I was aware that entire packages of theirs (like OpenSSH) were widely used in other systems, but I hadn't realized that patches of theirs to things like telnet and sudo made it into Linux distributions. I am thankful though that their security auditing efforts and solid code are benefitting Linux as well as the BSDs.

OpenBSD string in sudo binary
I came across this recently on my Redhat 7.1 box: [root@bindlestiff mboedick]# rpm -q sudo sudo-1.6.4-0.7x.2 [root@bindlestiff mboedick]# strings /usr/bin/sudo | tail -1 $OpenBSD: skeleton.c,v 1.18 2001/11/19 19:02:18 mpech Exp $ [root@bindlestiff mboedick]# I'm kind of curious about it.
