** Description changed:
Binary package hint: sudo
See the upstream bug that I had reported and was fixed:
http://www.gratisoft.us/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282
As root, when I execute the command:
HOME=<some_dir> sudo -u <some_user>
HOME is set to /root (root's home dir) not <some_dir>. As per the
documentation, sudo should not mess with the HOME envar unless -H or -i is
specified.
This is on hardy. It worked on gutsy.
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ broken Hardy final version:
+ $ HOME=/tmp sudo -u nobody sh -c 'echo $HOME'
+ /home/martin
+ with hardy-proposed fixed version:
+ $ HOME=/tmp sudo -u nobody sh -c 'echo $HOME'
+ /tmp
