Execute some commands as root

Edit Package sudo

Sudo is a command that allows users to execute some commands as root.
The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which users have
access to sudo and which commands they can run. Sudo logs all its
activities to syslogd, so the system administrator can keep an eye on
things. Sudo asks for the password for initializing a check period of a
given time N (where N is defined at installation and is set to 5
minutes by default).

- update to 1.8.9p3
- set secure_path to /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
- changes since 1.8.8:
  * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.8.9 that prevented the tty name
    from being resolved properly on Linux systems.  Bug #630.
  * Updated config.guess, config.sub and libtool to support the ppc64le
    architecture (IBM PowerPC Little Endian).
  * Fixed a problem with gcc 4.8's handling of bit fields that could
    lead to the noexec flag being enabled even when it was not
    explicitly set.
  * Reworked sudo's main event loop to use a simple event subsystem
    using poll(2) or select(2) as the back end.
  * It is now possible to statically compile the sudoers plugin into
    the sudo binary without disabling shared library support.  The
    sudo.conf file may still be used to configure other plugins.
  * Sudo can now be compiled again with a C preprocessor that does
    not support variadic macros.
  * Visudo can now export a sudoers file in JSON format using the
    new -x flag.
  * The locale is now set correctly again for visudo and sudoreplay.
  * The plugin API has been extended to allow the plugin to exclude
    specific file descriptors from the "closefrom" range.
  * There is now a workaround for a Solaris-specific problem where
    NOEXEC was overriding traditional root DAC behavior.
  * Add user netgroup filtering for SSSD. Previously, rules for
    a netgroup were applied to all even when they did not belong
    to the specified netgroup.
  * On systems with BSD login classes, if the user specified a group
    (not a user) to run the command as, it was possible to specify
    a different login class even when the command was not run as the (forwarded request 213857 from vitezslav_cizek)
