Re: Sudo and sudoers file

[Lindsey Simon <lsimon@auschron.com>]

Actually, I compiled the latest sudo package and used the same sudoers file and
things are okay. The program obeys the timestamp_timeout setting of 0. 
It seems that for some reason the debian binary ignores the 
Defaults	parameter = value
line. 

It would be nice to see if anyone else has this problem before submitting a bug
report.
