Subject: CU sudo 1.4 now avaiable
After spending far longer in BETA than I ever intented,
CU sudo 1.4 is now available:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~millert/sudo/
ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/sysadmin/utilities/cu-sudo.v1.4.tar.Z
Major changes from version 1.3.1 (see CHANGES file for full details):
1) Speed increase. Sudo 1.4 is faster than 1.3.1 by at least an
order of magnitude on slower systems.
2) Support for more authentication methods: shadow passwords,
s/key, SecurID, AFS, DCE, and kerberos[45].
3) New parser with support for groups of users (User_Alias)
and command line options.
4) New, friendlier visudo that catches more parse errors.
5) Simpler and better-documented configuration process.
6) Security improvements: more sanity checks are done on
the sudoers files and timestamp dir/files.
7) Timestamps may be per-tty instead of per-user.
8) Support for UN*X groups and netgroups in the sudoers file.
9) Better ip address/network support.
Sudo is expected to run on most UN*X variants. It has been tested
on the following platforms:
