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 1.8.10p1
  * Fixed a bug with netgated commands in "sudo -l command" that
    could cause the command to be listed even when it was explicitly
    denied. This only affected list mode when a command was specified.
    Bug #636.
  * It is now possible to disable network interface probing in sudo.conf
    by changing the value of the probe_interfaces setting.
  * When listing a user's privileges (sudo -l), the sudoers plugin
    will now prompt for the user's password even if the targetpw,
    rootpw or runaspw options are set.
  * The sudoers plugin uses a new format for its time stamp files.
    Bug #616.
  * sudo's -K option will now remove all of the user's time stamps,
    not just the time stamp for the current terminal.
    The -k option can be used to only disable time stamps for
    the current terminal.
  * If sudo was started in the background and needed to prompt for a
    password, it was not possible to suspend it at the password prompt
  * LDAP-based sudoers now uses a default search filter of
    (objectClass=sudoRole) for more efficient queries.
    The netgroup query has been modified to avoid falling below the
    minimum length for OpenLDAP substring indices.
  * The new use_netgroups sudoers option can be used to explicitly
    enable or disable netgroups support. For LDAP-based sudoers,
    netgroup support requires an expensive substring match on the server.
    If netgroups are not needed, this option can be disabled to
    reduce the load on the LDAP server.
  * Sudo is once again able to open the sudoers file when the group
    on sudoers doesn't match the expected value, so long as the
    file is not group writable. (forwarded request 225988 from vitezslav_cizek)
