Description of problem: Our users have a pretty scary PATH variable and they have a script named runasrelease that does: sudo -u release bash -c "$*" Since upgrading to fedora10+, the PATH variable is cleared and set to whatever was builtin with --secure-path. This breaks our expected usage of sudo as it removes PATH which we want set. Adding: !env_reset or env_reset env_keep = "HOME PATH" does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.6.9p17-6 How reproducible: PATH=$PATH:/tmp/pathtest sudo -u anyotheruser bash -c 'echo $PATH' Steps to Reproduce: jschroeder: ~ $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/bin:/home/release:/home/release/scripts:/opt/mysql/5.1.30/bin:/home/jschroeder/bin jschroeder: ~ $ sudo -u release bash -c 'echo $PATH' [sudo] password for jschroeder: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin Actual results: PATH is cleared due to the --secure-path option Expected results: There should be a way for PATH to not be cleared. !env_reset or adding PATH to env_keep should work. This is fixed in 1.7.0 according to upstream.
