in Ubuntu, sudo retains the calling user's $HOME this is different from upstream sudo as well as all other UNIXes and even the sudo documentation we provide. Should we remove our custom patch that adds this behavior?
for reference and more details on downsides of our current sudo behavior, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/1556302 Note that I have kind-of hijacked the bug, as I believe the issue is larger than the python-based example in that bug. Also as I commented in that bug, I do not recommend changing the behavior for existing releases. But I do think we should change the behavior starting in Eoan and future releases. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
