Fairly major update, with a new plugin interface (although nothing should change for those not using it):
Sudo 1.8.0 implements a plugin architecture that allows third-party policy and I/O logging modules to be used. It includes a "sudoers" plugin that provides the same security policy functionality present in Sudo 1.7.5 (both LDAP and /etc/sudoers).
You can read more about Sudo 1.8.0 in the slides from my presentation at SCALE 9x: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/slides/Sudo_SCALE9x.pdf
The plugin API is described in detail in the sudo_plugin manual, which is included in the sudo-1.8.0 source and packages and is online at http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/sudo_plugin.man.html
Signoff both, Allan
