Dear Mike, extract from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
Defaults env_reset , resets the terminal environment after switching to root. So, ie: all user set variables are removed. The second (root ALL=(ALL) ALL) just lets root do everything on any machine as any user. And the third (%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL) lets anybody in the admin group run anything as any user. Note that they will still require a password (thus giving you the normal behaviour you are so used to), by defaults "/etc/sudoers". -- sudo doesn't propagate $PWD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
