Worse still, as far as I can tell, it is impossible to respecify secure_path in the sudoers file. So if, for example, you want to offer your users easy access to something under /opt, you must recompile sudo.
The hard coding of secure_path also breaks the general Ubuntu convention (as I understood it) that /etc/environment's PATH entry is authoritative for the system. -- sudo built with --with-secure-path is problematic https://launchpad.net/bugs/50797 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
