Description of problem: On recent fedora and rhel system, /bin and /sbin are simple softlinks to /usr conterpart. The Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin is useless and redundant and leads to problems. It sould be: Defaults secure_path = /usr/sbin:/usr/bin At worst it could be /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin For compatibility (I have no example where it could be needed) Indeed, for example (I know it's a bad example): rpmbuild -tb <a_python_package>.tar.bz2 Will generate a package with /bin/python dependancy instead of a /usr/bin/python dependancy. Eventhough this example is bad (you should never build a package as root), I'm sure that there are other examples. Additional info: This needs to be fixed on all distros fc and rhel that have a /bin and /sbin as simple link to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
/etc/sudoers is still affected at least of fc-21.

The problem should be fixed in f23.
