Miller <Todd.Miller () courtesan com> To: sudo-announce () courtesan com Subject: Sudo version 1.6.4 now available Sudo version 1.6.4 is now available (ftp sites listed at the end). There are some thing I had promised for the next release that are not in 1.6.4 due to the large changes in the parser that these changes require to work properly. Nonetheless this release does fix the majority of problems in the sudo bugs database and adds features a number of people have asked for. I hope to make more frequent releases in the near future (it has been quite a while since 1.6.3 was originally released). On Fri, 18 Jan 2002, s1gnal_9 wrote:
