+A Brief History of Sudo:
+
+The Early Years
+
+Sudo was first conceived and implemented by Bob Coggeshall and Cliff Spencer
+around 1980 at the Department of Computer Science at SUNY/Buffalo. It ran on
+a VAX-11/750 running 4.1BSD. An updated version, credited to Phil Betchel,
+Cliff Spencer, Gretchen Phillips, John LoVerso and Don Gworek, was posted to
+the net.sources Usenet newsgroup in December of 1985.
+
+Sudo at CU-Boulder
+
+In the Summer of 1986, Garth Snyder released an enhanced version of sudo.
+For the next 5 years, sudo was fed and watered by a handful of folks at
+CU-Boulder, including Bob Coggeshall, Bob Manchek, and Trent Hein.
+
+Root Group Sudo
+
+In 1991, Dave Hieb and Jeff Nieusma wrote a new version of sudo with an
+enhanced sudoers format under contract to a consulting firm called "The Root
+Group". This version was later released under the GNU public license.
+
+CU Sudo
+
+In 1994, after maintaining sudo informally within CU-Boulder for some time,
+Todd C. Miller made a public release of "CU sudo" (version 1.3) with bug
+fixes and support for more operating systems. The "CU" was added to
+differentiate it from the "official" version from "The Root Group".
+
+In 1995, a new parser for the sudoers file was contributed by Chris Jepeway.
+The new parser was a proper grammar (unlike the old one) and could work with
+both sudo and visudo (previously they had slightly different parsers).
+
+In 1996, Todd, who had been maintaining sudo for several years in his spare
+time, moved distribution of sudo from a CU-Boulder ftp site to his domain,
+courtesan.com.
+
+Just Plain Sudo
+
+In 1999, the "CU" prefix was dropped from the name since there had been no
+formal release of sudo from "The Root Group" since 1991 (the original
+authors now work elsewhere). As of version 1.6, Sudo no longer contains any
+of the original "Root Group" code and is available under an ISC-style
+license.
+
+In 2001, the sudo web site, ftp site and mailing lists were moved from
+courtesan.com to the sudo.ws domain (sudo.org was already taken).
+
+LDAP Integration
+
+In 2003, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company contributed code written by
+Aaron Spangler to store the sudoers data in LDAP. These changes were
+incorporated into Sudo 1.6.8.
+
+New Parser
+
+In 2005, Todd rewrote the sudoers parser to better support the features that
+had been added in the past ten years. This new parser removes some
+limitations of the previous one, removes ordering constraints and adds
+support for including multiple sudoers files.
+
+Quest Sponsorship
+
+In 2010, Quest Software began sponsoring Sudo development by hiring
+Todd to work on Sudo as part of his full-time job. This enabled
+the addition of I/O logging, the plugin interface, additional
+regression tests, support for binary packages and more regular
+releases.
+
+Present Day
+
+Sudo, in its current form, is maintained by:
+
+ Todd C. Miller <Todd.Miller@sudo.ws>
+
+Todd continues to enhance sudo and fix bugs.

+Troubleshooting tips and FAQ for Sudo
+=====================================
+
+Q) When I run configure, it says "C compiler cannot create executables".
+A) This usually means you either don't have a working compiler. This
+ could be due to the lack of a license or that some component of the
+ compiler suite could not be found. Check config.log for clues as
+ to why this is happening. On many systems, compiler components live
+ in /usr/ccs/bin which may not be in your PATH environment variable.
+
+Q) When I run configure, it says "sudo requires the 'ar' utility to build".
+A) As part of the build process, sudo creates a temporary library containing
+ objects that are shared amongst the different sudo executables.
+ On Unix systems, the "ar" utility is used to do this. This error
+ indicates that "ar" is missing on your system. On Solaris systems,
+ you may need to install the SUNWbtool package. On other systems
+ "ar" may be included in the GNU binutils package.
+
+Q) Sudo compiles and installs OK but when I try to run it I get:
+ /usr/local/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
+A) Sudo must be setuid root to do its work. Either /usr/local/bin/sudo
+ is not owned by uid 0 or the setuid bit is not set. This should have
+ been done for you by "make install" but you can fix it manually by
+ running the following as root:
+ # chown root /usr/local/bin/sudo; chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/sudo
+
+Q) Sudo compiles and installs OK but when I try to run it I get:
+ effective uid is not 0, is /usr/local/bin/sudo on a file system with the
+ 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?
+A) The owner and permissions on the sudo binary appear to be OK but when
+ sudo ran, the setuid bit did not have an effect. There are two common
+ causes for this. The first is that the file system the sudo binary
+ is located on is mounted with the 'nosuid' mount option, which disables
+ setuid binaries. The output of the "mount" command should tell you if
+ the file system is mounted with the 'nosuid' option. The other possible
+ cause is that sudo is installed on an NFS-mounted file system that is
+ exported without root privileges. By default, NFS file systems are
+ exported with uid 0 mapped to a non-privileged uid (usually -2). You
+ should be able to determine whether sudo is located on an NFS-mounted
+ filesystem by running "df `which sudo'".
+
+Q) Sudo never gives me a chance to enter a password using PAM, it just
+ says 'Sorry, try again.' three times and exits.
+A) You didn't setup PAM to work with sudo. On RedHat Linux or Fedora
+ Core this generally means installing the sample pam.conf file as
+ /etc/pam.d/sudo. See the example pam.conf file for hints on what
+ to use for other Linux systems.
+
+Q) Sudo says 'Account expired or PAM config lacks an "account"
+ section for sudo, contact your system administrator' and exits
+ but I know my account has not expired.
+A) Your PAM config lacks an "account" specification. On Linux this
+ usually means you are missing a line like:
+ account required pam_unix.so
+ in /etc/pam.d/sudo.
+
+Q) Sudo is setup to log via syslog(3) but I'm not getting any log
+ messages.
+A) Make sure you have an entry in your syslog.conf file to save
+ the sudo messages (see the example syslog.conf file). The default
+ log facility is authpriv (changeable via configure or in sudoers).
+ Don't forget to send a SIGHUP to your syslogd so that it re-reads
+ its conf file. Also, remember that syslogd does *not* create
+ log files, you need to create the file before syslogd will log
+ to it (ie: touch /var/log/sudo).
+ Note: the facility (e.g. "auth.debug") must be separated from the
+ destination (e.g. "/var/log/auth" or "@loghost") by
+ tabs, *not* spaces. This is a common error.
+
+Q) When sudo asks me for my password it never accepts what I enter even
+ though I know I entered my password correctly.
+A) If you are not using pam and your system uses shadow passwords,
+ it is possible that sudo didn't properly detect that shadow
+ passwords are in use. Take a look at the generated config.h
+ file and verify that the C function used for shadow password
+ look ups was detected. For instance, for SVR4-style shadow
+ passwords, HAVE_GETSPNAM should be defined (you can search for
+ the string "shadow passwords" in config.h with your editor).
+ Note that there is no define for 4.4BSD-based shadow passwords
+ since that just uses the standard getpw* routines.
+
+Q) Can sudo use the ssh agent for authentication instead of asking
+ for the user's Unix password?
+A) Not directly, but you can use a PAM module like pam_ssh_agent_auth
+ or pam_ssh for this purpose.
+
+Q) I don't want the sudoers file in /etc, how can I specify where it
+ should go?
+A) Use the --sysconfdir option to configure. Ie:
+ configure --sysconfdir=/dir/you/want/sudoers/in
+
+Q) Can I put the sudoers file in NIS/NIS+ or do I have to have a
+ copy on each machine?
+A) There is no support for making an NIS/NIS+ map/table out of
+ the sudoers file at this time. You can distribute the sudoers
+ file via rsync or rdist. It is also possible to NFS-mount the
+ sudoers file. If you use LDAP at your site you may be interested
+ in sudo's LDAP sudoers support, see the README.LDAP file and the
+ sudoers.ldap manual.
+
+Q) I don't run sendmail on my machine. Does this mean that I cannot
+ use sudo?
+A) No, you just need to disable mailing with a line like:
+ Defaults !mailerpath
+ in your sudoers file or run configure with the --without-sendmail
+ option.
+
+Q) When I run visudo it uses vi as the editor and I hate vi. How
+ can I make it use another editor?
+A) You can specify the editor to use in visudo in the sudoers file.
+ See the "editor" and "env_editor" entries in the sudoers manual.
+ The defaults can also be set at configure time using the
+ --with-editor and --with-env-editor configure options.
+
+Q) Sudo appears to be removing some variables from the environment, why?
+A) By default, sudo runs commands with a new, minimal environment.
+ The "env_keep" setting in sudoers can be used to control which
+ environment variables are preserved from the invoking user's
+ environment via the "env_keep" setting in sudoers.
+
+ While it is possible to disable the "env_reset" setting, which
+ will preserve all environment variables that don't match a black
+ list, doing so is strongly discouraged. See the "Command
+ environment" section of the sudoers manual for more information.
+
+Q) Why does sudo reset the HOME environment variable?
+A) Many programs use the HOME environment variable to locate
+ configuration and data files. Often, these configuration files
+ are treated as trusted input that affects how the program operates.
+ By controlling the configuration files, a user may be able to
+ cause the program to execute other commands without sudo's
+ restrictions or logging.
+
+ Some programs perform extra checks when the real and effective
+ user-IDs differ, but because sudo runs commands with all user-IDs
+ set to the target user, these checks are insufficient.
+
+ While it is possible to preserve the value of the HOME environment
+ variable by adding it to the "env_keep" list in the sudoers file,
+ doing so is strongly discouraged. Users wishing to edit files
+ with sudo should run sudoedit (or sudo -e) to get their accustomed
+ editor configuration instead of invoking the editor directly.
+
+Q) How can I keep sudo from asking for a password?
+A) To specify this on a per-user (and per-command) basis, use the
+ 'NOPASSWD' tag right before the command list in sudoers. See
+ the sudoers man page and examples/sudoers for details. To disable
+ passwords completely, add !authenticate" to the Defaults line
+ in /etc/sudoers. You can also turn off authentication on a
+ per-user or per-host basis using a user or host-specific Defaults
+ entry in sudoers. To hard-code the global default, you can
+ configure with the --without-passwd option.
+
+Q) When I run configure, it dies with the following error:
+ "no acceptable cc found in $PATH".
+A) /usr/ucb/cc was the only C compiler that configure could find.
+ You need to tell configure the path to the "real" C compiler
+ via the --with-CC option. On Solaris, the path is probably
+ something like "/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.0/bin/cc". If you have gcc
+ that will also work.
+
+Q) When I run configure, it dies with the following error:
+ Fatal Error: config.cache exists from another platform!
+ Please remove it and re-run configure.
+A) configure caches the results of its tests in a file called
+ config.cache to make re-running configure speedy. However,
+ if you are building sudo for a different platform the results
+ in config.cache will be wrong so you need to remove config.cache.
+ You can do this by "rm config.cache" or "make realclean".
+ Note that "make realclean" will also remove any object files
+ and configure temp files that are laying around as well.
+
+Q) I built sudo on a Solaris 11 (or higher) machine but the resulting
+ binary doesn't work older Solaris versions. Why?
+A) Starting with Solaris 11, asprintf(3) is included in the standard
+ C library. To build a version of sudo on a Solaris 11 machine that
+ will run on an older Solaris release, edit config.h and comment out
+ the lines:
+ #define HAVE_ASPRINTF 1
+ #define HAVE_VASPRINTF 1
+ and run make.
+
+Q) When I run "visudo" it says "sudoers file busy, try again later."
+ and doesn't do anything.
+A) Someone else is currently editing the sudoers file with visudo.
+
+Q) When I try to use "cd" with sudo it says "cd: command not found".
+A) "cd" is a shell built-in command, you can't run it as a command
+ since a child process (sudo) cannot affect the current working
+ directory of the parent (your shell).
+
+Q) When I try to use "cd" with sudo the command completes without
+ errors but nothing happens.
+A) Even though "cd" is a shell built-in command, some operating systems
+ include a /usr/bin/cd command for some reason. A standalone
+ "cd" command is totally useless since a child process (cd) cannot
+ affect the current working directory of the parent (your shell).
+ Thus, "sudo cd /foo" will start a child process, change the
+ directory and immediately exit without doing anything useful.
+
+Q) When I run sudo it says I am not allowed to run the command as root
+ but I don't want to run it as root, I want to run it as another user.
+ My sudoers file entry looks like:
+ bob ALL=(oracle) ALL
+A) The default user sudo tries to run things as is always root, even if
+ the invoking user can only run commands as a single, specific user.
+ This may change in the future but at the present time you have to
+ work around this using the 'runas_default' option in sudoers.
+ For example:
+ Defaults:bob runas_default=oracle
+ would achieve the desired result for the preceding sudoers fragment.
+
+Q) When I try to run sudo via ssh, I get the error:
+ sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S
+ option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper
+A) If sudo needs to authenticate a user, it requires access to the user's
+ terminal to disable echo so the password is not displayed to the screen.
+ The above message indicates that no terminal was present.
+
+ When running a command via ssh, a terminal is not allocated by default
+ which can cause this message. The "-t" option to ssh will force it to
+ allocate a tty. Alternately, you may be able to use the ssh-askpass
+ utility to prompt for the password if X11 forwarding is enabled and an
+ askpass helper is configured in the sudo.conf file. If you do not mind
+ your password being echoed to the screen, you may use sudo's -S option
+ to read the password from the standard input. Alternately, you may set
+ the "visiblepw" sudoers option which will allow the password to be entered
+ even when echo cannot be disabled, though this is not recommended.
+
+Q) When I try to use SSL-enabled LDAP with sudo I get an error:
+ unable to initialize SSL cert and key db: security library: bad database.
+ you must set TLS_CERT in /etc/ldap.conf to use SSL
+A) On systems that use a Mozilla-derived LDAP SDK there must be a
+ certificate database in place to use SSL-encrypted LDAP connections.
+ This file is usually /var/ldap/cert8.db or /etc/ldap/cert8.db.
+ The actual number after "cert" will vary, depending on the version
+ of the LDAP SDK that is being used. If you do not have a certificate
+ database you can either copy one from a mozilla-derived browser, such
+ as firefox, or create one using the "certutil" command. You can run
+ "certutil" as follows and press the <return> (or <enter>) key at the
+ password prompt:
+ # certutil -N -d /var/ldap
+ Enter a password which will be used to encrypt your keys.
+ The password should be at least 8 characters long,
+ and should contain at least one non-alphabetic character.
+
+ Enter new password: <return>
+ Re-enter password: <return>
+
+Q) On HP-UX, the umask setting in sudoers has no effect.
+A) If your /etc/pam.conf file has the libpam_hpsec.so.1 session module
+ enabled, you may need to a add line like the following to pam.conf:
+ sudo session required libpam_hpsec.so.1 bypass_umask
+
+Q) When I run "sudo -i shell_alias" I get "command not found" even
+ though the alias is defined in my shell startup files.
+A) Commands run via "sudo -i" are executed by the shell in
+ non-interactive mode. The bash shell will only parse aliases in
+ interactive mode unless the "expand_aliases" shell option is
+ set. If you add "shopt -s expand_aliases" to your .bash_profile
+ (or .profile if using that instead) the aliases should now be
+ available to "sudo -i".
+
+Q) When I run sudo on AIX I get the following error:
+ setuidx(ID_EFFECTIVE|ID_REAL|ID_SAVED, ROOT_UID): Operation not permitted.
+A) AIX's Enhanced RBAC is preventing sudo from running. To fix
+ this, add the following entry to /etc/security/privcmds (adjust
+ the path to sudo as needed) and run the setkst command as root:
+
+ /usr/local/bin/sudo:
+ accessauths = ALLOW_ALL
+ innateprivs = PV_DAC_GID,PV_DAC_R,PV_DAC_UID,PV_DAC_X,PV_FS_CHOWN,PV_PROC_PRIO,PV_NET_PORT,PV_NET_CNTL,PV_SU_UID
+ secflags = FSF_EPS
+
+Q) Sudo configures and builds without error but when I run it I get
+ a Segmentation fault.
+A) If you are on a Linux system, the first thing to try is to run
+ configure with the --disable-pie option, then "make clean" and
+ "make". If that fixes the problem then your operating system
+ does not properly support position independent executables.
+ Please send a message to sudo@sudo.ws with system details such
+ as the Linux distro, kernel version and CPU architecture.
+
+Q) When I run configure I get the following error:
+ dlopen present but libtool doesn't appear to support your platform.
+A) Libtool doesn't know how to support dynamic linking on the operating
+ system you are building for. If you are cross-compiling, you need to
+ specify the operating system, not just the CPU type. For example:
+ --host powerpc-unknown-linux
+ instead of just:
+ --host powerpc
+
+Q) How do you pronounce `sudo'?
+A) The official pronunciation is soo-doo (for su "do"). However, an
+ alternate pronunciation, a homophone of "pseudo", is also common.

+Notes on upgrading from an older release
+========================================
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.9.3:
+
+ Due to the addition of the CHROOT and CWD options, it is no
+ longer possible to declare an alias with one of those names.
+ If a sudoers file has an alias with one of those names, sudo
+ and visudo will report a syntax error with a message like
+ "syntax error: unexpected CHROOT, expecting ALIAS".
+
+ Starting with version 1.9.3, sudoers rules must end in either
+ a newline or the end-of-file. This makes it possible to provide
+ better error messages. Previously, it was possible to include
+ multiple rules on a single line, separated by white space.
+
+ Starting with version 1.9.3, sudo will attempt to recover from
+ a syntax error in the sudoers file by discarding the portion
+ of the line that contains the error until the end of the line.
+ To restore the historic behavior of refusing to run when a
+ syntax error is encountered, add "error_recovery=false" as a
+ plugin option in sudo.conf for the "sudoers_audit" plugin, (or
+ "sudoers_policy" if there is no "sudoers_audit" plugin configured).
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.9.1:
+
+ Starting with version 1.9.1, sudoers plugin arguments in sudo.conf
+ should be specified for the "sudoers_audit" plugin, not
+ "sudoers_policy". This is because the sudoers file is now
+ opened and parsed by the "sudoers_audit" plugin. Previously,
+ this was done by the "sudoers_policy" plugin. The use of an
+ audit plugin makes it possible for the sudoers module to detect
+ when a command has been rejected by an approval plugin and only
+ log commands that are allowed by both policy and approval
+ plugins.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.30:
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.30, sudo will no longer allow commands
+ to be run as a user or group ID that is not in the password or
+ group databases by default. Previously, sudo would always allow
+ unknown user or group IDs if the sudoers entry permitted it,
+ including via the "ALL" alias. The old behavior can be restored
+ by setting the new "allow_unknown_runas_id" Defaults setting
+ in the sudoers file.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.29:
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.29, if the umask is explicitly set
+ in sudoers, that value is used regardless of the umask specified
+ by PAM or login.conf. However, if the umask is not explicitly
+ set in sudoers, PAM or login.conf may now override the default
+ sudoers umask. Previously, the sudoers umask always overrode
+ the umask set by PAM, which was not the documented behavior.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.28:
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.28, sudo stores the signal that caused
+ a command to be suspended or resumed as a string in the I/O log
+ timing file. The version of sudoreplay included with sudo
+ 1.8.28 can process either type of I/O log file but older versions
+ of sudoreplay are unable to replay the newer logs.
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.28, sudoedit honors the umask and
+ umask_override settings in sudoers. Previously, the user's
+ umask was used as-is.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.26:
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.26, sudo no long sets the USERNAME
+ environment variable when running commands. This is a non-standard
+ environment variable that was set on some older Linux systems.
+ Sudo still sets the LOGNAME, USER and, on AIX systems, LOGIN
+ environment variables.
+
+ Handling of the LOGNAME, USER (and on AIX, LOGIN) environment
+ variables has changed slightly in version 1.8.26. Sudo now
+ treats those variables as a single unit. This means that if
+ one variable is preserved or removed from the environment using
+ env_keep, env_check or env_delete, the others are too.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.23:
+
+ In sudo 1.8.23 the "sudoers2ldif" script and the "visudo -x"
+ functionality has been superseded by the "cvtsudoers" utility.
+ The cvtsudoers utility is intended to be a drop-in replacement
+ for "sudoers2ldif". Because it uses the same parser as sudo
+ and visudo, cvtsudoers can perform a more accurate conversion
+ than sudoers2ldif could.
+
+ To convert a sudoers file to JSON, the format option must be
+ specified. For example, instead of:
+
+ visudo -f sudoers_file -x output_file
+
+ one would use:
+
+ cvtsudoers -f json -o output_file sudoers_file
+
+ Note that unlike "visudo -x", "cvtsudoers" reads from the
+ standard input by default. Also, the base DN may be specified
+ on the command line, if desired, using the -b option.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.20:
+
+ Due to the addition of the TIMEOUT, NOTBEFORE and NOTAFTTER
+ options, it is no longer possible to declare an alias with one
+ of those names. If a sudoers file has an alias with one of
+ those names, sudo and visudo will report a syntax error with a
+ message like "syntax error: unexpected TIMEOUT, expecting ALIAS".
+
+ Starting with version 1.9.3, sudoers rules must end in either
+ Prior to version 1.8.20, when log_input, log_output or use_pty
+ were enabled, if any of the standard input, output or error
+ were not connected to a terminal, sudo would use a pipe. The
+ pipe allows sudo to interpose itself between the old standard
+ input, output or error and log the contents. Beginning with
+ version 1.8.20, a pipe is only used when I/O logging is enabled.
+ If use_pty is set without log_input or log_output, no pipe will
+ be used. Additionally, if log_input is set without log_output,
+ a pipe is only used for the standard input. Likewise, if
+ log_output is set without log_input, a pipe is only used for
+ the standard output and standard error. This results in a
+ noticeable change in behavior if the use_pty flag is set and no
+ terminal is present when running commands such as scripts that
+ execute other commands asynchronously (in the background).
+ Previously, sudo would exit immediately, causing background
+ commands to terminate with a broken pipe if they attempt to
+ write to the standard output or standard error. As of version
+ 1.8.20, a pipe will not be used in this case so the command
+ will no longer be terminated.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.16:
+
+ When editing files with sudoedit, files in a directory that is
+ writable by the invoking user may no longer be edited by default.
+ Also, sudoedit will refuse to follow a symbolic link in the
+ path to be edited if that directory containing the link is
+ writable by the user. This behavior can be disabled by negating
+ the sudoedit_checkdir sudoers option, which is now enabled by
+ default.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.15:
+
+ Prior to version 1.8.15, when env_reset was enabled (the default)
+ and the -s option was not used, the SHELL environment variable
+ was set to the shell of the invoking user. In 1.8.15 and above,
+ when env_reset is enabled and the -s option is not used, SHELL
+ is set based on the target user.
+
+ When editing files with sudoedit, symbolic links will no longer
+ be followed by default. The old behavior can be restored by
+ enabling the sudoedit_follow option in sudoers or on a per-command
+ basis with the FOLLOW and NOFOLLOW tags.
+
+ Prior to version 1.8.15, groups listed in sudoers that were not
+ found in the system group database were passed to the group
+ plugin, if any. Starting with 1.8.15, only groups of the form
+ %:group are resolved via the group plugin by default. The old
+ behavior can be restored by using the always_query_group_plugin
+ sudoers option.
+
+ Locking of the time stamp file has changed in sudo 1.8.15.
+ Previously, the user's entire time stamp file was locked while
+ retrieving and updating a time stamp record. Now, only a single
+ record, specific to the tty or parent process ID, is locked.
+ This lock is held while the user enters their password. If
+ sudo is suspended at the password prompt (or run in the
+ background), the lock is dropped until sudo is resumed, at which
+ point it will be reacquired. This allows sudo to be used in a
+ pipeline even when a password is required--only one instance
+ of sudo will prompt for a password.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.14:
+
+ On HP-UX, sudo will no longer check for "plugin.sl" if "plugin.so"
+ is specified but does not exist. This was a temporary hack for
+ backward compatibility with Sudo 1.8.6 and below when the
+ plugin path name was not listed in sudo.conf. A plugin path
+ name that explicitly ends in ".sl" will still work as expected.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.12:
+
+ On Solaris, sudo is now able to determine the NIS domain name.
+ As a result, if you had previously been using netgroups that
+ do not include the domain, you will need to either set the
+ domain in the entry or leave the domain part of the tuple blank.
+
+ For example, the following will no longer work:
+ my-hosts (foo,-,-) (bar,-,-) (baz,-,-)
+ and should be changed to:
+ my-hosts (foo,-,) (bar,-,) (baz,-,)
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.10:
+
+ The time stamp file format has changed in sudo 1.8.10. There
+ is now a single time stamp file for each user, even when tty-based
+ time stamps are used. Each time stamp file may contain multiple
+ records to support tty-based time stamps as well as multiple
+ authentication users. On systems that support it, monotonic
+ time is stored instead of wall clock time. As a result, it is
+ important that the time stamp files not persist when the system
+ reboots. For this reason, the default location for the time
+ stamp files has changed back to a directory located in /var/run.
+ Systems that do not have /var/run (e.g. AIX) or that do not clear
+ it on boot (e.g. HP-UX) will need to clear the time stamp
+ directory via a start up script. Such a script is installed by
+ default on AIX and HP-UX systems.
+
+ Because there is now a single time stamp file per user, the -K
+ option will remove all of the user's time stamps, not just the
+ time stamp for the current terminal.
+
+ Lecture status is now stored separately from the time stamps
+ in a separate directory: /var/db/sudo/lectured, /var/lib/sudo/lectured
+ or /var/adm/sudo/lectured depending on what is present on the
+ system.
+
+ LDAP-based sudoers now uses a default search filter of
+ (objectClass=sudoRole) for more efficient queries. It is
+ possible to disable the default search filter by specifying
+ SUDOERS_SEARCH_FILTER in ldap.conf but omitting a value.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.7:
+
+ Sudo now stores its libexec files in a "sudo" sub-directory
+ instead of in libexec itself. For backward compatibility, if
+ the plugin is not found in the default plugin directory, sudo
+ will check the parent directory default directory ends in "/sudo".
+
+ The default sudo plugins now all use the .so extension, regardless
+ of the extension used by system shared libraries. For backward
+ compatibility, sudo on HP-UX will also search for a plugin with
+ an .sl extension if the .so version is not found.
+
+ Handling of users belonging to a large number of groups has
+ changed. Previously, sudo would only use the group list from
+ the kernel unless the system_group plugin was enabled in sudoers.
+ Now, sudo will query the groups database if the user belongs
+ to the maximum number of groups supported by the kernel. See
+ the group_source and max_groups settings in the sudo.conf manual
+ for details.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.2:
+
+ When matching Unix groups in the sudoers file, sudo will now
+ match based on the name of the group as it appears in sudoers
+ instead of the group-ID. This can substantially reduce the
+ number of group lookups for sudoers files that contain a large
+ number of groups. There are a few side effects of this change.
+
+ 1) Unix groups with different names but the same group-ID are
+ can no longer be used interchangeably. Sudo will look up all
+ of a user's groups by group-ID and use the resulting group
+ names when matching sudoers entries. If there are multiple
+ groups with the same ID, the group name returned by the
+ system getgrgid() library function is the name that will be
+ used when matching sudoers entries.
+
+ 2) Unix group names specified in the sudoers file that are
+ longer than the system maximum will no longer match. For
+ instance, if there is a Unix group "fireflie" on a system
+ where group names are limited to eight characters, "%fireflies"
+ in sudoers will no longer match "fireflie". Previously, a
+ lookup by name of the group "fireflies" would have matched
+ the "fireflie" group on most systems.
+
+ The legacy group matching behavior may be restored by enabling
+ the match_group_by_gid Defaults option in sudoers available
+ in sudo 1.8.18 and higher.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.1:
+
+ Changes in the sudoers parser could result in parse errors for
+ existing sudoers file. These changes cause certain erroneous
+ entries to be flagged as errors where before they allowed.
+ Changes include:
+
+ Combining multiple Defaults entries with a backslash. E.g.
+
+ Defaults set_path \
+ Defaults syslog
+
+ which should be:
+
+ Defaults set_path
+ Defaults syslog
+
+ Also, double-quoted strings with a missing end-quote are now
+ detected and result in an error. Previously, text starting a
+ double quote and ending with a newline was ignored. E.g.
+
+ Defaults set_path"foo
+
+ In previous versions of sudo, the `"foo' portion would have
+ been ignored.
+
+ To avoid problems, sudo 1.8.1's "make install" will not install
+ a new sudo binary if the existing sudoers file has errors.
+
+ In Sudo 1.8.1 the "noexec" functionality has moved out of the
+ sudoers policy plugin and into the sudo front-end. As a result,
+ the path to the noexec file is now specified in the sudo.conf
+ file instead of the sudoers file. If you have a sudoers file
+ that uses the "noexec_file" option, you will need to move the
+ definition to the sudo.conf file instead.
+
+ Old style in /etc/sudoers:
+ Defaults noexec_file=/usr/local/libexec/sudo_noexec.so
+
+ New style in /etc/sudo.conf:
+ Path noexec /usr/local/libexec/sudo_noexec.so
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.0:
+
+ Starting with version 1.8.0, sudo uses a modular framework to
+ support policy and I/O logging plugins. The default policy
+ plugin is "sudoers" which provides the traditional sudoers
+ evaluation and I/O logging. Plugins are typically located in
+ /usr/libexec or /usr/local/libexec, though this is system-dependent.
+ The sudoers plugin is named "sudoers.so" on most systems.
+
+ The sudo.conf file, usually stored in /etc, is used to configure
+ plugins. This file is optional--if no plugins are specified
+ in sudo.conf, the "sudoers" plugin is used. See the example
+ sudo.conf file in the doc directory or refer to the updated
+ sudo manual to see how to configure sudo.conf.
+
+ The "askpass" setting has moved from the sudoers file to the
+ sudo.conf file. If you have a sudoers file that uses the
+ "askpass" option, you will need to move the definition to the
+ sudo.conf file.
+
+ Old style in /etc/sudoers:
+ Defaults askpass=/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass
+
+ New style in /etc/sudo.conf:
+ Path askpass /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.7.5:
+
+ Sudo 1.7.5 includes an updated LDAP schema with support for
+ the sudoNotBefore, sudoNotAfter and sudoOrder attributes.
+
+ The sudoNotBefore and sudoNotAfter attribute support is only
+ used when the SUDOERS_TIMED setting is enabled in ldap.conf.
+ If enabled, those attributes are used directly when constructing
+ an LDAP filter. As a result, your LDAP server must have the
+ updated schema if you want to use sudoNotBefore and sudoNotAfter.
+
+ The sudoOrder support does not affect the LDAP filter sudo
+ constructs and so there is no need to explicitly enable it in
+ ldap.conf. If the sudoOrder attribute is not present in an
+ entry, a value of 0 is used. If no entries contain sudoOrder
+ attributes, the results are in whatever order the LDAP server
+ returns them, as in past versions of sudo.
+
+ Older versions of sudo will simply ignore the new attributes
+ if they are present in an entry. There are no compatibility
+ problems using the updated schema with older versions of sudo.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.7.4:
+
+ Starting with sudo 1.7.4, the time stamp files have moved from
+ /var/run/sudo to either /var/db/sudo, /var/lib/sudo or /var/adm/sudo.
+ The directories are checked for existence in that order. This
+ prevents users from receiving the sudo lecture every time the
+ system reboots. Time stamp files older than the boot time are
+ ignored on systems where it is possible to determine this.
+
+ Additionally, the tty_tickets sudoers option is now enabled by
+ default. To restore the old behavior (single time stamp per user),
+ add a line like:
+ Defaults !tty_tickets
+ to sudoers or use the --without-tty-tickets configure option.
+
+ The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on the
+ target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option
+ is enabled (which is the case in the default configuration). Users
+ wishing to preserve the original values should use a sudoers entry like:
+ Defaults env_keep += HOME
+ to preserve the old value of HOME and
+ Defaults env_keep += MAIL
+ to preserve the old value of MAIL.
+
+ NOTE: preserving HOME has security implications since many programs
+ use it when searching for configuration files. Adding HOME to env_keep
+ may enable a user to run unrestricted commands via sudo.
+
+ The default syslog facility has changed from "local2" to "authpriv"
+ (or "auth" if the operating system doesn't have "authpriv").
+ The --with-logfac configure option can be used to change this
+ or it can be changed in the sudoers file.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.7.0:
+
+ Starting with sudo 1.7.0, comments in the sudoers file must not
+ have a digit or minus sign immediately after the comment character
+ ('#'). Otherwise, the comment may be interpreted as a user or
+ group-ID.
+
+ When sudo is build with LDAP support the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is
+ now used to determine the sudoers sea ch order. sudo will default to
+ only using /etc/sudoers unless /etc/nsswitch.conf says otherwise.
+ This can be changed with an nsswitch.conf line, e.g.:
+ sudoers: ldap files
+ Would case LDAP to be searched first, then the sudoers file.
+ To restore the pre-1.7.0 behavior, run configure with the
+ --with-nsswitch=no flag.
+
+ Sudo now ignores user .ldaprc files as well as system LDAP defaults.
+ All LDAP configuration is now in /etc/ldap.conf (or whichever file
+ was specified by configure's --with-ldap-conf-file option).
+ If you are using TLS, you may now need to specify:
+ tls_checkpeer no
+ in sudo's ldap.conf unless ldap.conf references a valid certificate
+ authority file(s).
+
+ Please also see the NEWS file for a list of new features in
+ sudo 1.7.0.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.6.9:
+
+ Starting with sudo 1.6.9, if an OS supports a modular authentication
+ method such as PAM, it will be used by default by configure.
+
+ Environment variable handling has changed significantly in sudo
+ 1.6.9. Prior to version 1.6.9, sudo would preserve the user's
+ environment, pruning out potentially dangerous variables.
+ Beginning with sudo 1.6.9, the environment is reset to a default
+ set of values with only a small number of "safe" variables
+ preserved. To preserve specific environment variables, add
+ them to the "env_keep" list in sudoers. E.g.
+
+ Defaults env_keep += "EDITOR"
+
+ The old behavior can be restored by negating the "env_reset"
+ option in sudoers. E.g.
+
+ Defaults !env_reset
+
+ There have also been changes to how the "env_keep" and
+ "env_check" options behave.
+
+ Prior to sudo 1.6.9, the TERM and PATH environment variables
+ would always be preserved even if the env_keep option was
+ redefined. That is no longer the case. Consequently, if
+ env_keep is set with "=" and not simply appended to (i.e. using
+ "+="), PATH and TERM must be explicitly included in the list
+ of environment variables to keep. The LOGNAME, SHELL, USER,
+ and USERNAME environment variables are still always set.
+
+ Additionally, the env_check setting previously had no effect
+ when env_reset was set (which is now on by default). Starting
+ with sudo 1.6.9, environment variables listed in env_check are
+ also preserved in the env_reset case, provided that they do not
+ contain a '/' or '%' character. Note that it is not necessary
+ to also list a variable in env_keep--having it in env_check is
+ sufficient.
+
+ The default lists of variables to be preserved and/or checked
+ are displayed when sudo is run by root with the -V flag.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.6.8:
+
+ Prior to sudo 1.6.8, if /var/run did not exist, sudo would put
+ the time stamp files in /tmp/.odus. As of sudo 1.6.8, the
+ time stamp files will be placed in /var/adm/sudo or /usr/adm/sudo
+ if there is no /var/run directory. This directory will be
+ created if it does not already exist.
+
+ Previously, a sudoers entry that explicitly prohibited running
+ a command as a certain user did not override a previous entry
+ allowing the same command. This has been fixed in sudo 1.6.8
+ such that the last match is now used (as it is documented).
+ Hopefully no one was depending on the previous (buggy) behavior.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.6:
+
+ As of sudo 1.6, parsing of runas entries and the NOPASSWD tag
+ has changed. Prior to 1.6, a runas specifier applied only to
+ a single command directly following it. Likewise, the NOPASSWD
+ tag only allowed the command directly following it to be run
+ without a password. Starting with sudo 1.6, both the runas
+ specifier and the NOPASSWD tag are "sticky" for an entire
+ command list. So, given the following line in sudo < 1.6
+
+ millert ALL=(daemon) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/whoami,/bin/ls
+
+ millert would be able to run /usr/bin/whoami as user daemon
+ without a password and /bin/ls as root with a password.
+
+ As of sudo 1.6, the same line now means that millert is able
+ to run run both /usr/bin/whoami and /bin/ls as user daemon
+ without a password. To expand on this, take the following
+ example:
+
+ millert ALL=(daemon) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/whoami, (root) /bin/ls, \
+ /sbin/dump
+
+ millert can run /usr/bin/whoami as daemon and /bin/ls and
+ /sbin/dump as root. No password need be given for either
+ command. In other words, the "(root)" sets the default runas
+ user to root for the rest of the list. If we wanted to require
+ a password for /bin/ls and /sbin/dump the line could be written
+ as:
+
+ millert ALL=(daemon) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/whoami, \
+ (root) PASSWD:/bin/ls, /sbin/dump
+
+ Additionally, sudo now uses a per-user time stamp directory
+ instead of a time stamp file. This allows tty time stamps to
+ simply be files within the user's time stamp dir. For the
+ default, non-tty case, the time stamp on the directory itself
+ is used.
+
+ Also, the temporary file used by visudo is now /etc/sudoers.tmp
+ since some versions of vipw on systems with shadow passwords use
+ /etc/stmp for the temporary shadow file.
+
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.5:
+
+ By default, sudo expects the sudoers file to be mode 0440 and
+ to be owned by user and group 0. This differs from version 1.4
+ and below which expected the sudoers file to be mode 0400 and
+ to be owned by root. Doing a `make install' will set the sudoers
+ file to the new mode and group. If sudo encounters a sudoers
+ file with the old permissions it will attempt to update it to
+ the new scheme. You cannot, however, use a sudoers file with
+ the new permissions with an old sudo binary. It is suggested
+ that if have a means of distributing sudo you distribute the
+ new binaries first, then the new sudoers file (or you can leave
+ sudoers as is and sudo will fix the permissions itself as long
+ as sudoers is on a local file system).

+.Nm cvtsudoers
+.Op Fl ehMpV
+.Op Fl b Ar dn
+.Op Fl c Ar conf_file
+.Op Fl d Ar deftypes
+.Op Fl f Ar output_format
+.Op Fl i Ar input_format
+.Op Fl I Ar increment
+.Op Fl m Ar filter
+.Op Fl o Ar output_file
+.Op Fl O Ar start_point
+.Op Fl P Ar padding
+.Op Fl s Ar sections
+.Op Ar input_file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+can be used to convert between
+.Em sudoers
+security policy file formats.
+The default input format is sudoers.
+The default output format is LDIF.
+It is only possible to convert a
+.Em sudoers
+file that is syntactically correct.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Ar input_file
+is specified, or if it is
+.Ql - ,
+the policy is read from the standard input.
+By default, the result is written to the standard output.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl b Ar dn , Fl -base Ns = Ns Ar dn
+The base DN (distinguished name) that will be used when performing
+LDAP queries.
+Typically this is of the form
+.Li ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+for the domain
+.Li my-domain.com .
+If this option is not specified, the value of the
+.Ev SUDOERS_BASE
+environment variable will be used instead.
+Only necessary when converting to LDIF format.
+.It Fl c Ar conf_file , Fl -config Ns = Ns Ar conf_file
+Specify the path to the configuration file.
+Defaults to
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/cvtsudoers.conf .
+.It Fl d Ar deftypes , Fl -defaults Ns = Ns Ar deftypes
+Only convert
+.Li Defaults
+entries of the specified types.
+One or more
+.Li Defaults
+types may be specified, separated by a comma
+.Pq Ql \&, .
+The supported types are:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It all
+All Defaults entries.
+.It global
+Global Defaults entries that are applied regardless of
+user, runas, host or command.
+.It user
+Per-user Defaults entries.
+.It runas
+Per-runas user Defaults entries.
+.It host
+Per-host Defaults entries.
+.It command
+Per-command Defaults entries.
+.El
+.Pp
+See the
+.Sy Defaults
+section in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for more information.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl d
+option is not specified, all
+.Li Defaults
+entries will be converted.
+.It Fl e , Fl -expand-aliases
+Expand aliases in
+.Ar input_file .
+Aliases are preserved by default when the output
+.Ar format
+is JSON or sudoers.
+.It Fl f Ar output_format , Fl -output-format Ns = Ns Ar output_format
+Specify the output format (case-insensitive).
+The following formats are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It JSON
+JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files are usually easier for
+third-party applications to consume than the traditional
+.Em sudoers
+format.
+The various values have explicit types which removes much of the
+ambiguity of the
+.Em sudoers
+format.
+.It LDIF
+LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be imported into an LDAP
+server for use with
+.Xr sudoers.ldap @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+Conversion to LDIF has the following limitations:
+.Bl -bullet -width 1n
+.It
+Command, host, runas and user-specific Defaults lines cannot be
+translated as they don't have an equivalent in the sudoers LDAP schema.
+.It
+Command, host, runas and user aliases are not supported by the
+sudoers LDAP schema so they are expanded during the conversion.
+.El
+.It sudoers
+Traditional sudoers format.
+A new sudoers file will be reconstructed from the parsed input file.
+Comments are not preserved and data from any include files will be
+output inline.
+.El
+.It Fl h , Fl -help
+Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
+.It Fl i Ar input_format , Fl -input-format Ns = Ns Ar input_format
+Specify the input format.
+The following formats are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It LDIF
+LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) files can be exported from an LDAP
+server to convert security policies used by
+.Xr sudoers.ldap @mansectform@ .
+If a base DN (distinguished name) is specified, only sudoRole objects
+that match the base DN will be processed.
+Not all sudoOptions specified in a sudoRole can be translated from
+LDIF to sudoers format.
+.It sudoers
+Traditional sudoers format.
+This is the default input format.
+.El
+.It Fl I Ar increment , Fl -increment Ns = Ns Ar increment
+When generating LDIF output, increment each sudoOrder attribute by
+the specified number.
+Defaults to an increment of 1.
+.It Fl m Ar filter , Fl -match Ns = Ns Ar filter
+Only output rules that match the specified
+.Ar filter .
+A
+.Ar filter
+expression is made up of one or more
+.Sy key = Ar value
+pairs, separated by a comma
+.Pq Ql \&, .
+The
+.Sy key
+may be
+.Dq user ,
+.Dq group
+or
+.Dq host .
+For example,
+.Sy user No = Ar operator
+or
+.Sy host No = Ar www .
+An upper-case User_Alias or Host_Alias may be specified as the
+.Dq user
+or
+.Dq host .
+.Pp
+A matching
+.Em sudoers
+rule may also include users, groups and hosts that are not part of the
+.Ar filter .
+This can happen when a rule includes multiple users, groups or hosts.
+To prune out any non-matching user, group or host from the rules, the
+.Fl p
+option may be used.
+.Pp
+By default, the password and group databases are not consulted when matching
+against the filter so the users and groups do not need to be present
+on the local system (see the
+.Fl M
+option).
+Only aliases that are referenced by the filtered policy rules will
+be displayed.
+.It Fl M , Fl -match-local
+When the
+.Fl m
+option is also specified, use password and group database information
+when matching users and groups in the filter.
+Only users and groups in the filter that exist on the local system will match,
+and a user's groups will automatically be added to the filter.
+If the
+.Fl M
+is
+.Em not
+specified, users and groups in the filter do not need to exist on the
+local system, but all groups used for matching must be explicitly listed
+in the filter.
+.It Fl o Ar output_file , Fl -output Ns = Ns Ar output_file
+Write the converted output to
+.Ar output_file .
+If no
+.Ar output_file
+is specified, or if it is
+.Ql - ,
+the converted
+.Em sudoers
+policy will be written to the standard output.
+.It Fl O Ar start_point , Fl -order-start Ns = Ns Ar start_point
+When generating LDIF output, use the number specified by
+.Ar start_point
+in the sudoOrder attribute of the first sudoRole object.
+Subsequent sudoRole object use a sudoOrder value generated by adding an
+.Ar increment ,
+see the
+.Fl I
+option for details.
+Defaults to a starting point of 1.
+A starting point of 0 will disable the generation of sudoOrder
+attributes in the resulting LDIF file.
+.It Fl p , Fl -prune-matches
+When the
+.Fl m
+option is also specified,
+.Nm
+will prune out non-matching users, groups and hosts from
+matching entries.
+.It Fl P Ar padding , Fl -padding Ns = Ns Ar padding
+When generating LDIF output, construct the initial sudoOrder value by
+concatenating
+.Ar order_start
+and
+.Ar increment ,
+padding the
+.Ar increment
+with zeros until it consists of
+.Ar padding
+digits.
+For example, if
+.Ar order_start
+is 1027,
+.Ar padding
+is 3, and
+.Ar increment
+is 1, the value of sudoOrder for the first entry will be 1027000,
+followed by 1027001, 1027002, etc.
+If the number of sudoRole entries is larger than the padding would allow,
+.Nm
+will exit with an error.
+By default, no padding is performed.
+.It Fl s Ar sections , Fl -suppress Ns = Ns Ar sections
+Suppress the output of specific
+.Ar sections
+of the security policy.
+One or more section names may be specified, separated by a comma
+.Pq Ql \&, .
+The supported section name are:

+.SH "NAME"
+\fBsudo.conf\fR
+\- configuration for sudo front end
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+\fBsudo.conf\fR
+file is used to configure the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end.
+It specifies the security policy and I/O logging plugins, debug flags
+as well as plugin-agnostic path names and settings.
+.PP
+The
+\fBsudo.conf\fR
+file supports the following directives, described in detail below.
+.TP 10n
+Plugin
+a security policy or I/O logging plugin
+.TP 10n
+Path
+a plugin-agnostic path
+.TP 10n
+Set
+a front end setting, such as
+\fIdisable_coredump\fR
+or
+\fIgroup_source\fR
+.TP 10n
+Debug
+debug flags to aid in debugging
+\fBsudo\fR,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR,
+\fBvisudo\fR,
+and the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin.
+.PP
+The pound sign
+(\(oq#\(cq)
+is used to indicate a comment.
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+.PP
+Long lines can be continued with a backslash
+(\(oq\e\(cq)
+as the last character on the line.
+Note that leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
+even when the continuation character is used.
+.PP
+Non-comment lines that don't begin with
+\fRPlugin\fR,
+\fRPath\fR,
+\fRDebug\fR,
+or
+\fRSet\fR
+are silently ignored.
+.PP
+The
+\fBsudo.conf\fR
+file is always parsed in the
+\(lq\fRC\fR\(rq
+locale.
+.SS "Plugin configuration"
+\fBsudo\fR
+supports a plugin architecture for security policies and input/output
+logging.
+Third parties can develop and distribute their own policy and I/O
+logging plugins to work seamlessly with the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end.
+Plugins are dynamically loaded based on the contents of
+\fBsudo.conf\fR.
+.PP
+A
+\fRPlugin\fR
+line consists of the
+\fRPlugin\fR
+keyword, followed by the
+\fIsymbol_name\fR
+and the
+\fIpath\fR
+to the dynamic shared object that contains the plugin.
+The
+\fIsymbol_name\fR
+is the name of the
+\fRapproval_plugin\fR,
+\fRaudit_plugin\fR,
+\fRio_plugin\fR,
+or
+\fRpolicy_plugin\fR
+struct contained in the plugin.
+If a plugin implements multiple plugin types, there must be a
+\fRPlugin\fR
+line for each unique symbol name.
+The
+\fIpath\fR
+may be fully qualified or relative.
+If not fully qualified, it is relative to the directory
+specified by the
+\fIplugin_dir\fR
+\fRPath\fR
+setting, which defaults to
+\fI@plugindir@\fR.
+In other words:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+is equivalent to:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_policy @plugindir@/sudoers.so
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+If the plugin was compiled statically into the
+\fBsudo\fR
+binary instead of being installed as a dynamic shared object, the
+\fIpath\fR
+should be specified without a leading directory,
+as it does not actually exist in the file system.
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so

+.PP
+The following plugin-agnostic paths may be set in the
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudo.conf\fR
+file:
+.TP 10n
+askpass
+The fully qualified path to a helper program used to read the user's
+password when no terminal is available.
+This may be the case when
+\fBsudo\fR
+is executed from a graphical (as opposed to text-based) application.
+The program specified by
+\fIaskpass\fR
+should display the argument passed to it as the prompt and write
+the user's password to the standard output.
+The value of
+\fIaskpass\fR
+may be overridden by the
+\fRSUDO_ASKPASS\fR
+environment variable.
+.TP 10n
+devsearch
+.br
+An ordered, colon-separated search path of directories to look in for
+device nodes.
+This is used when mapping the process's tty device number to a device name
+on systems that do not provide such a mechanism.
+Sudo will
+\fInot\fR
+recurse into sub-directories.
+If terminal devices may be located in a sub-directory of
+\fI/dev\fR,
+that path must be explicitly listed in
+\fIdevsearch\fR.
+The default value is
+\fR/dev/pts:/dev/vt:/dev/term:/dev/zcons:/dev/pty:/dev\fR
+.sp
+This option is ignored on systems that support either the
+\fBdevname\fR()
+or
+\fB_ttyname_dev\fR()
+functions, for example
+BSD,
+macOS and Solaris.
+.TP 10n
+noexec
+The fully-qualified path to a shared library containing wrappers

+.TP 10n
+disable_coredump
+Core dumps of
+\fBsudo\fR

+sensitive information.
+To aid in debugging
+\fBsudo\fR
+crashes, you may wish to re-enable core dumps by setting

+All modern operating systems place restrictions on core dumps
+from set-user-ID processes like
+\fBsudo\fR

+To actually get a
+\fBsudo\fR
+core file you will likely need to enable core dumps for set-user-ID processes.
+On
+BSD
+and Linux systems this is accomplished in the
+sysctl(@mansectsu@)
+command.
+On Solaris, the
+coreadm(1m)

+.RE
+.TP 10n
+developer_mode
+By default
+\fBsudo\fR
+refuses to load plugins which can be modified by other than the root user.

+\fBsudo\fR
+version 1.9.0 and higher.
+.RE
+.TP 10n
+group_source
+\fBsudo\fR
+passes the invoking user's group list to the policy and I/O plugins.
+On most systems, there is an upper limit to the number of groups that
+a user may belong to simultaneously (typically 16 for compatibility
+with NFS).

+will return the maximum number of groups.
+.sp
+However, it is still possible to be a member of a larger number of
+groups--they simply won't be included in the group list returned
+by the kernel for the user.
+Starting with
+\fBsudo\fR
+version 1.8.7, if the user's kernel group list has the maximum number
+of entries,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will consult the group database directly to determine the group list.
+This makes it possible for the security policy to perform matching by group
+name even when the user is a member of more than the maximum number of groups.
+.sp
+The
+\fIgroup_source\fR
+setting allows the administrator to change this default behavior.
+Supported values for
+\fIgroup_source\fR
+are:
+.TP 10n
+static
+Use the static group list that the kernel returns.
+Retrieving the group list this way is very fast but it is subject
+to an upper limit as described above.
+It is
+\(lqstatic\(rq
+in that it does not reflect changes to the group database made
+after the user logs in.
+This was the default behavior prior to
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.7.
+.TP 10n
+dynamic
+Always query the group database directly.
+It is
+\(lqdynamic\(rq
+in that changes made to the group database after the user logs in
+will be reflected in the group list.
+On some systems, querying the group database for all of a user's
+groups can be time consuming when querying a network-based group
+database.
+Most operating systems provide an efficient method of performing
+such queries.
+Currently,
+\fBsudo\fR
+supports efficient group queries on AIX,
+BSD,
+HP-UX, Linux and Solaris.
+.TP 10n
+adaptive
+Only query the group database if the static group list returned
+by the kernel has the maximum number of entries.
+This is the default behavior in
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.7 and higher.

+.RE
+.fi
+.sp

+version 1.8.7 and higher.
+.RE
+.TP 10n
+max_groups
+The maximum number of user groups to retrieve from the group database.
+Values less than one will be ignored.
+This setting is only used when querying the group database directly.
+It is intended to be used on systems where it is not possible to detect
+when the array to be populated with group entries is not sufficiently large.
+By default,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will allocate four times the system's maximum number of groups (see above)
+and retry with double that number if the group database query fails.
+.sp
+This setting is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+version 1.8.7 and higher.
+It should not be required in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions 1.8.24 and higher and may be removed in a later release.
+.TP 10n
+probe_interfaces
+By default,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will probe the system's network interfaces and pass the IP address
+of each enabled interface to the policy plugin.
+This makes it possible for the plugin to match rules based on the IP address
+without having to query DNS.
+On Linux systems with a large number of virtual interfaces, this may
+take a non-negligible amount of time.
+If IP-based matching is not required, network interface probing
+can be disabled as follows:

+.SS "Debug flags"
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions 1.8.4 and higher support a flexible debugging framework
+that can help track down what
+\fBsudo\fR
+is doing internally if there is a problem.
+.PP
+A
+\fRDebug\fR
+line consists of the
+\fRDebug\fR

+(\fBsudo\fR, \fBvisudo\fR, \fBsudoreplay\fR, \fBsudoers\fR),
+the debug file name and a comma-separated list of debug flags.
+The debug flag syntax used by
+\fBsudo\fR

+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin is
+\fIsubsystem\fR@\fIpriority\fR

+1.8.12, multiple

+Previously, the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin shared the same
+\fRDebug\fR
+entry as the

+\fIcrit\fR, \fIerr\fR, \fIwarn\fR, \fInotice\fR, \fIdiag\fR, \fIinfo\fR, \fItrace\fR
+and
+\fIdebug\fR.
+Each priority, when specified, also includes all priorities higher
+than it.
+For example, a priority of
+\fInotice\fR
+would include debug messages logged at
+\fInotice\fR
+and higher.
+.PP
+The priorities
+\fItrace\fR
+and
+\fIdebug\fR
+also include function call tracing which logs when a function is
+entered and when it returns.

+\fBget_user_groups\fR()
+function located in src/sudo.c:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+sudo[123] -> get_user_groups @ src/sudo.c:385

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudo.conf
+.Nd configuration for sudo front end
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm sudo.conf
+file is used to configure the
+.Nm sudo
+front end.
+It specifies the security policy and I/O logging plugins, debug flags
+as well as plugin-agnostic path names and settings.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+file supports the following directives, described in detail below.
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It Plugin
+a security policy or I/O logging plugin
+.It Path
+a plugin-agnostic path
+.It Set
+a front end setting, such as
+.Em disable_coredump
+or
+.Em group_source
+.It Debug
+debug flags to aid in debugging
+.Nm sudo ,
+.Nm sudoreplay ,
+.Nm visudo ,
+and the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin.
+.El
+.Pp
+The pound sign
+.Pq Ql #
+is used to indicate a comment.
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+.Pp
+Long lines can be continued with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+as the last character on the line.
+Note that leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
+even when the continuation character is used.
+.Pp
+Non-comment lines that don't begin with
+.Li Plugin ,
+.Li Path ,
+.Li Debug ,
+or
+.Li Set
+are silently ignored.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+file is always parsed in the
+.Dq Li C
+locale.
+.Ss Plugin configuration
+.Nm sudo
+supports a plugin architecture for security policies and input/output
+logging.
+Third parties can develop and distribute their own policy and I/O
+logging plugins to work seamlessly with the
+.Nm sudo
+front end.
+Plugins are dynamically loaded based on the contents of
+.Nm .
+.Pp
+A
+.Li Plugin
+line consists of the
+.Li Plugin
+keyword, followed by the
+.Em symbol_name
+and the
+.Em path
+to the dynamic shared object that contains the plugin.
+The
+.Em symbol_name
+is the name of the
+.Li approval_plugin ,
+.Li audit_plugin ,
+.Li io_plugin ,
+or
+.Li policy_plugin
+struct contained in the plugin.
+If a plugin implements multiple plugin types, there must be a
+.Li Plugin
+line for each unique symbol name.
+The
+.Em path
+may be fully qualified or relative.
+If not fully qualified, it is relative to the directory
+specified by the
+.Em plugin_dir
+.Li Path
+setting, which defaults to
+.Pa @plugindir@ .
+In other words:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+.Ed
+.Pp
+is equivalent to:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_policy @plugindir@/sudoers.so
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If the plugin was compiled statically into the
+.Nm sudo
+binary instead of being installed as a dynamic shared object, the
+.Em path
+should be specified without a leading directory,
+as it does not actually exist in the file system.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Starting with
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.5, any additional parameters after the
+.Em path
+are passed as arguments to the plugin's
+.Em open
+function.
+For example, to override the compile-time default sudoers file mode:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so sudoers_mode=0440
+.Ed
+.Pp
+See the
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+manual for a list of supported arguments.
+.Pp
+The same dynamic shared object may contain multiple plugins,
+each with a different symbol name.
+The file must be owned by uid 0 and only writable by its owner.
+Because of ambiguities that arise from composite policies, only a single
+policy plugin may be specified.
+This limitation does not apply to I/O plugins.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Nm
+file is present, or if it contains no
+.Li Plugin
+lines, the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin will be used as the default security policy, for I/O logging
+(if enabled by the policy) and for auditing.
+This is equivalent to the following:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_io sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_audit sudoers.so
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Starting with
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.9.1, some of the logging functionality of the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin has been moved from the policy plugin to an audit plugin.
+To maintain compatibility with
+.Nm
+files from older
+.Nm sudo
+versions, if
+.Nm sudoers
+is configured as the security policy, it will be used as an audit
+plugin as well.
+This guarantees that the logging behavior will be consistnet with that of
+.Nm sudo
+versions 1.9.0 and below.
+.Pp
+For more information on the
+.Nm sudo
+plugin architecture, see the
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansectform@
+manual.
+.Ss Path settings
+A
+.Li Path
+line consists of the
+.Li Path
+keyword, followed by the name of the path to set and its value.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Path noexec @noexec_file@
+Path askpass /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If no path name is specified, features relying on the specified
+setting will be disabled.
+Disabling
+.Li Path
+settings is only supported in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.16 and higher.
+.Pp
+The following plugin-agnostic paths may be set in the
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudo.conf
+file:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It askpass
+The fully qualified path to a helper program used to read the user's
+password when no terminal is available.
+This may be the case when
+.Nm sudo
+is executed from a graphical (as opposed to text-based) application.
+The program specified by
+.Em askpass
+should display the argument passed to it as the prompt and write
+the user's password to the standard output.
+The value of
+.Em askpass
+may be overridden by the
+.Ev SUDO_ASKPASS
+environment variable.
+.It devsearch
+An ordered, colon-separated search path of directories to look in for
+device nodes.
+This is used when mapping the process's tty device number to a device name
+on systems that do not provide such a mechanism.
+Sudo will
+.Em not
+recurse into sub-directories.
+If terminal devices may be located in a sub-directory of
+.Pa /dev ,
+that path must be explicitly listed in
+.Em devsearch .
+The default value is
+.Li /dev/pts:/dev/vt:/dev/term:/dev/zcons:/dev/pty:/dev
+.Pp
+This option is ignored on systems that support either the
+.Fn devname
+or
+.Fn _ttyname_dev
+functions, for example
+.Bx ,
+macOS and Solaris.
+.It noexec
+The fully-qualified path to a shared library containing wrappers
+for the
+.Fn execl ,
+.Fn execle ,
+.Fn execlp ,
+.Fn exect ,
+.Fn execv ,
+.Fn execve ,
+.Fn execvP ,
+.Fn execvp ,
+.Fn execvpe ,
+.Fn fexecve ,
+.Fn popen ,
+.Fn posix_spawn ,
+.Fn posix_spawnp ,
+.Fn system ,
+and
+.Fn wordexp
+library functions that prevent the execution of further commands.
+This is used to implement the
+.Em noexec
+functionality on systems that support
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD
+or its equivalent.
+The default value is
+.Pa @noexec_file@ .
+.It plugin_dir
+The default directory to use when searching for plugins
+that are specified without a fully qualified path name.
+The default value is
+.Pa @plugindir@ .
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.It sesh
+The fully-qualified path to the
+.Nm sesh
+binary.
+This setting is only used when
+.Nm sudo
+is built with SELinux support.
+The default value is
+.Pa @sesh_file@ .
+.\}
+.El
+.Ss Other settings
+The
+.Nm
+file also supports the following front end settings:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It disable_coredump
+Core dumps of
+.Nm sudo
+itself are disabled by default to prevent the disclosure of potentially
+sensitive information.
+To aid in debugging
+.Nm sudo
+crashes, you may wish to re-enable core dumps by setting
+.Dq disable_coredump
+to false in
+.Nm
+as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Set disable_coredump false
+.Ed
+.Pp
+All modern operating systems place restrictions on core dumps
+from set-user-ID processes like
+.Nm sudo
+so this option can be enabled without compromising security.
+To actually get a
+.Nm sudo
+core file you will likely need to enable core dumps for set-user-ID processes.
+On
+.Bx
+and Linux systems this is accomplished in the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+command.
+On Solaris, the
+.Xr coreadm 1m
+command is used to configure core dump behavior.
+.Pp
+This setting is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.4 and higher.
+.It developer_mode
+By default
+.Nm sudo
+refuses to load plugins which can be modified by other than the root user.
+The plugin should be owned by root and write access permissions should be
+disabled for
+.Dq group
+and
+.Sm off
+.Dq other
+\&.
+.Sm on
+To make development of a plugin easier, you can disable that by setting
+.Dq developer_mode
+option to true in
+.Nm sudo.conf
+as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Set developer_mode true
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Please note that this creates a security risk, so it is not recommended
+on critical systems such as a desktop machine for daily use, but is intended
+to be used in development environments (VM, container, etc).
+Before enabling developer mode, ensure you understand the implications.
+.Pp
+This setting is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.9.0 and higher.
+.It group_source
+.Nm sudo
+passes the invoking user's group list to the policy and I/O plugins.
+On most systems, there is an upper limit to the number of groups that
+a user may belong to simultaneously (typically 16 for compatibility
+with NFS).
+On systems with the
+.Xr getconf 1
+utility, running:
+.Dl getconf NGROUPS_MAX
+will return the maximum number of groups.
+.Pp
+However, it is still possible to be a member of a larger number of
+groups--they simply won't be included in the group list returned
+by the kernel for the user.
+Starting with
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.7, if the user's kernel group list has the maximum number
+of entries,
+.Nm sudo
+will consult the group database directly to determine the group list.
+This makes it possible for the security policy to perform matching by group
+name even when the user is a member of more than the maximum number of groups.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em group_source
+setting allows the administrator to change this default behavior.
+Supported values for
+.Em group_source
+are:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It static
+Use the static group list that the kernel returns.
+Retrieving the group list this way is very fast but it is subject
+to an upper limit as described above.
+It is
+.Dq static
+in that it does not reflect changes to the group database made
+after the user logs in.
+This was the default behavior prior to
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.7.
+.It dynamic
+Always query the group database directly.
+It is
+.Dq dynamic
+in that changes made to the group database after the user logs in
+will be reflected in the group list.
+On some systems, querying the group database for all of a user's
+groups can be time consuming when querying a network-based group
+database.
+Most operating systems provide an efficient method of performing
+such queries.
+Currently,
+.Nm sudo
+supports efficient group queries on AIX,
+.Bx ,
+HP-UX, Linux and Solaris.
+.It adaptive
+Only query the group database if the static group list returned
+by the kernel has the maximum number of entries.
+This is the default behavior in
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.7 and higher.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example, to cause
+.Nm sudo
+to only use the kernel's static list of groups for the user:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Set group_source static
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This setting is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.7 and higher.
+.It max_groups
+The maximum number of user groups to retrieve from the group database.
+Values less than one will be ignored.
+This setting is only used when querying the group database directly.
+It is intended to be used on systems where it is not possible to detect
+when the array to be populated with group entries is not sufficiently large.
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will allocate four times the system's maximum number of groups (see above)
+and retry with double that number if the group database query fails.
+.Pp
+This setting is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.7 and higher.
+It should not be required in
+.Nm sudo
+versions 1.8.24 and higher and may be removed in a later release.
+.It probe_interfaces
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will probe the system's network interfaces and pass the IP address
+of each enabled interface to the policy plugin.
+This makes it possible for the plugin to match rules based on the IP address
+without having to query DNS.
+On Linux systems with a large number of virtual interfaces, this may
+take a non-negligible amount of time.
+If IP-based matching is not required, network interface probing
+can be disabled as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Set probe_interfaces false
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This setting is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.8.10 and higher.
+.El
+.Ss Debug flags
+.Nm sudo
+versions 1.8.4 and higher support a flexible debugging framework
+that can help track down what
+.Nm sudo
+is doing internally if there is a problem.
+.Pp
+A
+.Li Debug
+line consists of the
+.Li Debug
+keyword, followed by the name of the program (or plugin) to debug
+.Pq Nm sudo , Nm visudo , Nm sudoreplay , Nm sudoers ,
+the debug file name and a comma-separated list of debug flags.
+The debug flag syntax used by
+.Nm sudo
+and the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin is
+.Em subsystem Ns @ Ns Em priority
+but a plugin is free to use a different format so long as it does
+not include a comma
+.Pq Ql \&, .
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Debug sudo /var/log/sudo_debug all@warn,plugin@info
+.Ed
+.Pp
+would log all debugging statements at the
+.Em warn
+level and higher in addition to those at the
+.Em info
+level for the plugin subsystem.
+.Pp
+As of
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.12, multiple
+.Li Debug
+entries may be specified per program.
+Older versions of
+.Nm sudo
+only support a single
+.Li Debug
+entry per program.
+Plugin-specific
+.Li Debug
+entries are also supported starting with
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.12 and are matched by either the base name of the plugin that was loaded
+(for example
+.Li sudoers.so )
+or by the plugin's fully-qualified path name.
+Previously, the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin shared the same
+.Li Debug
+entry as the
+.Nm sudo
+front end and could not be configured separately.
+.Pp
+The following priorities are supported, in order of decreasing severity:
+.Em crit , err , warn , notice , diag , info , trace
+and
+.Em debug .
+Each priority, when specified, also includes all priorities higher
+than it.
+For example, a priority of
+.Em notice
+would include debug messages logged at
+.Em notice
+and higher.
+.Pp
+The priorities
+.Em trace
+and
+.Em debug
+also include function call tracing which logs when a function is
+entered and when it returns.
+For example, the following trace is for the
+.Fn get_user_groups
+function located in src/sudo.c:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+sudo[123] -> get_user_groups @ src/sudo.c:385
+sudo[123] <- get_user_groups @ src/sudo.c:429 := groups=10,0,5
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When the function is entered, indicated by a right arrow
+.Ql -> ,
+the program, process ID, function, source file and line number
+are logged.
+When the function returns, indicated by a left arrow
+.Ql <- ,
+the same information is logged along with the return value.
+In this case, the return value is a string.
+.Pp
+The following subsystems are used by the
+.Nm sudo
+front-end:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Em all
+matches every subsystem
+.It Em args
+command line argument processing
+.It Em conv
+user conversation
+.It Em edit

+.It Em pty
+pseudo-terminal related code
+.It Em selinux
+SELinux-specific handling
+.It Em util

+.PD
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBsudo\fR
+allows a permitted user to execute a
+\fIcommand\fR
+as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security
+policy.
+The invoking user's real
+(\fInot\fR effective)
+user-ID is used to determine the user name with which
+to query the security policy.
+.PP
+\fBsudo\fR
+supports a plugin architecture for security policies and input/output
+logging.
+Third parties can develop and distribute their own policy and I/O
+logging plugins to work seamlessly with the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end.
+The default security policy is
+\fIsudoers\fR,
+which is configured via the file
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR,
+or via LDAP.
+See the
+\fIPlugins\fR
+section for more information.
+.PP
+The security policy determines what privileges, if any, a user has
+to run
+\fBsudo\fR.
+The policy may require that users authenticate themselves with a
+password or another authentication mechanism.
+If authentication is required,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will exit if the user's password is not entered within a configurable
+time limit.
+This limit is policy-specific; the default password prompt timeout
+for the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+security policy is
+\fR@password_timeout@\fR
+minutes.
+.PP
+Security policies may support credential caching to allow the user
+to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+again for a period of time without requiring authentication.
+By default, the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+policy caches credentials on a per-terminal basis for
+\fR@timeout@\fR
+minutes.
+See the
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+and
+\fItimestamp_timeout\fR
+options in
+sudoers(@mansectform@)
+for more information.
+By running
+\fBsudo\fR
+with the
+\fB\-v\fR
+option, a user can update the cached credentials without running a
+\fIcommand\fR.
+.PP
+On systems where
+\fBsudo\fR
+is the primary method of gaining superuser privileges, it is imperative
+to avoid syntax errors in the security policy configuration files.
+For the default security policy,

+There are two distinct ways
+\fBsudo\fR
+can run a command.
+.PP
+If an I/O logging plugin is configured or if the security policy
+explicitly requests it, a new pseudo-terminal
+(\(lqpty\(rq)
+is allocated and
+fork(2)
+is used to create a second
+\fBsudo\fR
+process, referred to as the
+\fImonitor\fR.
+The
+\fImonitor\fR
+creates a new terminal session with itself as the leader and the pty as its
+controlling terminal, calls
+fork(2),
+sets up the execution environment as described above, and then uses the
+execve(2)
+system call to run the command in the child process.
+The
+\fImonitor\fR
+exists to relay job control signals between the user's
+existing terminal and the pty the command is being run in.
+This makes it possible to suspend and resume the command.
+Without the monitor, the command would be in what POSIX terms an
+\(lqorphaned process group\(rq
+and it would not receive any job control signals from the kernel.
+When the command exits or is terminated by a signal, the
+\fImonitor\fR
+passes the command's exit status to the main
+\fBsudo\fR
+process and exits.
+After receiving the command's exit status, the main
+\fBsudo\fR
+passes the command's exit status to the security policy's close function
+and exits.
+.PP
+If no pty is used,
+\fBsudo\fR
+calls
+fork(2),
+sets up the execution environment as described above, and uses the
+execve(2)
+system call to run the command in the child process.
+The main
+\fBsudo\fR
+process waits until the command has completed, then passes the
+command's exit status to the security policy's close function and exits.
+As a special case, if the policy plugin does not define a close
+function,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will execute the command directly instead of calling
+fork(2)
+first.
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+policy plugin will only define a close function when I/O logging
+is enabled, a pty is required, or the
+\fIpam_session\fR
+or
+\fIpam_setcred\fR
+options are enabled.
+Note that
+\fIpam_session\fR
+and
+\fIpam_setcred\fR
+are enabled by default on systems using PAM.
+.PP
+On systems that use PAM, the security policy's close function
+is responsible for closing the PAM session.
+It may also log the command's exit status.
+.SS "Signal handling"
+When the command is run as a child of the
+\fBsudo\fR
+process,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will relay signals it receives to the command.
+The
+\fRSIGINT\fR
+and
+\fRSIGQUIT\fR
+signals are only relayed when the command is being run in a new pty
+or when the signal was sent by a user process, not the kernel.
+This prevents the command from receiving
+\fRSIGINT\fR
+twice each time the user enters control-C.
+Some signals, such as
+\fRSIGSTOP\fR
+and
+\fRSIGKILL\fR,
+cannot be caught and thus will not be relayed to the command.
+As a general rule,
+\fRSIGTSTP\fR
+should be used instead of
+\fRSIGSTOP\fR
+when you wish to suspend a command being run by
+\fBsudo\fR.
+.PP
+As a special case,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will not relay signals that were sent by the command it is running.
+This prevents the command from accidentally killing itself.
+On some systems, the
+reboot(@mansectsu@)
+command sends
+\fRSIGTERM\fR
+to all non-system processes other than itself before rebooting
+the system.
+This prevents
+\fBsudo\fR
+from relaying the
+\fRSIGTERM\fR
+signal it received back to
+reboot(@mansectsu@),
+which might then exit before the system was actually rebooted,
+leaving it in a half-dead state similar to single user mode.
+Note, however, that this check only applies to the command run by
+\fBsudo\fR
+and not any other processes that the command may create.
+As a result, running a script that calls
+reboot(@mansectsu@)
+or
+shutdown(@mansectsu@)
+via
+\fBsudo\fR
+may cause the system to end up in this undefined state unless the
+reboot(@mansectsu@)
+or
+shutdown(@mansectsu@)
+are run using the
+\fBexec\fR()
+family of functions instead of
+\fBsystem\fR()
+(which interposes a shell between the command and the calling process).
+.PP
+If no I/O logging plugins are loaded and the policy plugin has not
+defined a
+\fBclose\fR()
+function, set a command timeout or required that the command be
+run in a new pty,
+\fBsudo\fR
+may execute the command directly instead of running it as a child process.
+.SS "Plugins"
+Plugins may be specified via
+\fRPlugin\fR
+directives in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+They may be loaded as dynamic shared objects (on systems that support them),
+or compiled directly into the
+\fBsudo\fR
+binary.
+If no
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file is present, or if it doesn't contain any
+\fRPlugin\fR
+lines,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will use
+sudoers(@mansectform@)

+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+manual for details of the
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudo.conf\fR
+file and the

+manual for more information about the
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugin architecture.
+.SH "EXIT VALUE"
+Upon successful execution of a command, the exit status from
+\fBsudo\fR
+will be the exit status of the program that was executed.
+If the command terminated due to receipt of a signal,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will send itself the same signal that terminated the command.

+If a command is specified with the
+\fB\-l\fR
+option, the exit value will only be 0 if the command is permitted by the
+security policy, otherwise it will be 1.
+.PP
+If there is an authentication failure, a configuration/permission
+problem or if the given command cannot be executed,
+\fBsudo\fR
+exits with a value of 1.
+In the latter case, the error string is printed to the standard error.
+If
+\fBsudo\fR
+cannot
+stat(2)
+one or more entries in the user's
+\fRPATH\fR,
+an error is printed to the standard error.
+(If the directory does not exist or if it is not really a directory,
+the entry is ignored and no error is printed.)
+This should not happen under normal circumstances.
+The most common reason for
+stat(2)
+to return
+\(lqpermission denied\(rq
+is if you are running an automounter and one of the directories in
+your
+\fRPATH\fR
+is on a machine that is currently unreachable.
+.SH "SECURITY NOTES"
+\fBsudo\fR
+tries to be safe when executing external commands.
+.PP
+To prevent command spoofing,
+\fBsudo\fR
+checks "." and "" (both denoting current directory) last when
+searching for a command in the user's
+\fRPATH\fR
+(if one or both are in the
+\fRPATH\fR).
+Note, however, that the actual
+\fRPATH\fR
+environment variable is
+\fInot\fR
+modified and is passed unchanged to the program that
+\fBsudo\fR
+executes.
+.PP
+Users should
+\fInever\fR
+be granted
+\fBsudo\fR
+privileges to execute files that are writable by the user or
+that reside in a directory that is writable by the user.
+If the user can modify or replace the command there is no way
+to limit what additional commands they can run.
+.PP
+Please note that
+\fBsudo\fR
+will normally only log the command it explicitly runs.
+If a user runs a command such as
+\fRsudo su\fR
+or
+\fRsudo sh\fR,
+subsequent commands run from that shell are not subject to
+\fBsudo\fR's
+security policy.
+The same is true for commands that offer shell escapes (including
+most editors).
+If I/O logging is enabled, subsequent commands will have their input and/or
+output logged, but there will not be traditional logs for those commands.
+Because of this, care must be taken when giving users access to commands via
+\fBsudo\fR
+to verify that the command does not inadvertently give the user an
+effective root shell.
+For more information, please see the
+\fIPreventing shell escapes\fR
+section in
+sudoers(@mansectform@).
+.PP
+To prevent the disclosure of potentially sensitive information,
+\fBsudo\fR
+disables core dumps by default while it is executing (they are
+re-enabled for the command that is run).
+This historical practice dates from a time when most operating
+systems allowed set-user-ID processes to dump core by default.
+To aid in debugging
+\fBsudo\fR
+crashes, you may wish to re-enable core dumps by setting
+\(lqdisable_coredump\(rq
+to false in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file as follows:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Set disable_coredump false
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+See the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+manual for more information.

+via shell escapes, thus avoiding

+checks.

+sudoers(@mansectform@)
+plugin's
+\fInoexec\fR
+functionality.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+allows a permitted user to execute a
+.Ar command
+as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security
+policy.
+The invoking user's real
+.Pq Em not No effective
+user-ID is used to determine the user name with which
+to query the security policy.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+supports a plugin architecture for security policies and input/output
+logging.
+Third parties can develop and distribute their own policy and I/O
+logging plugins to work seamlessly with the
+.Nm
+front end.
+The default security policy is
+.Em sudoers ,
+which is configured via the file
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers ,
+or via LDAP.
+See the
+.Sx Plugins
+section for more information.
+.Pp
+The security policy determines what privileges, if any, a user has
+to run
+.Nm .
+The policy may require that users authenticate themselves with a
+password or another authentication mechanism.
+If authentication is required,
+.Nm
+will exit if the user's password is not entered within a configurable
+time limit.
+This limit is policy-specific; the default password prompt timeout
+for the
+.Em sudoers
+security policy is
+.Li @password_timeout@
+minutes.
+.Pp
+Security policies may support credential caching to allow the user
+to run
+.Nm
+again for a period of time without requiring authentication.
+By default, the
+.Em sudoers
+policy caches credentials on a per-terminal basis for
+.Li @timeout@
+minutes.
+See the
+.Em timestamp_type
+and
+.Em timestamp_timeout
+options in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for more information.
+By running
+.Nm
+with the
+.Fl v
+option, a user can update the cached credentials without running a
+.Ar command .
+.Pp
+On systems where
+.Nm
+is the primary method of gaining superuser privileges, it is imperative
+to avoid syntax errors in the security policy configuration files.
+For the default security policy,
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ ,
+changes to the configuration files should be made using the
+.Xr visudo @mansectsu@
+utility which will ensure that no syntax errors are introduced.
+.Pp
+When invoked as
+.Nm sudoedit ,
+the
+.Fl e
+option (described below), is implied.
+.Pp
+Security policies may log successful and failed attempts to use
+.Nm .
+If an I/O plugin is configured, the running command's input and
+output may be logged as well.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl A , -askpass
+Normally, if
+.Nm
+requires a password, it will read it from the user's terminal.
+If the
+.Fl A Pq Em askpass
+option is specified, a (possibly graphical) helper program is
+executed to read the user's password and output the password to the
+standard output.
+If the
+.Ev SUDO_ASKPASS
+environment variable is set, it specifies the path to the helper
+program.
+Otherwise, if
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+contains a line specifying the askpass program, that value will be
+used.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+# Path to askpass helper program
+Path askpass /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If no askpass program is available,
+.Nm
+will exit with an error.
+.if \n(BA \{\
+.It Fl a Ar type , Fl -auth-type Ns = Ns Ar type
+Use the specified
+.Bx
+authentication
+.Ar type
+when validating the user, if allowed by
+.Pa /etc/login.conf .
+The system administrator may specify a list of sudo-specific
+authentication methods by adding an
+.Dq auth-sudo
+entry in
+.Pa /etc/login.conf .
+This option is only available on systems that support
+.Bx
+authentication.
+.\}
+.It Fl B , -bell
+Ring the bell as part of the password promp when a terminal is present.
+This option has no effect if an askpass program is used.
+.It Fl b , -background
+Run the given command in the background.
+Note that it is not possible to use shell job control to manipulate
+background processes started by
+.Nm .
+Most interactive commands will fail to work properly in background
+mode.
+.It Fl C Ar num , Fl -close-from Ns = Ns Ar num
+Close all file descriptors greater than or equal to
+.Ar num
+before executing a command.
+Values less than three are not permitted.
+By default,
+.Nm
+will close all open file descriptors other than standard input,
+standard output and standard error when executing a command.
+The security policy may restrict the user's ability to use this option.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy only permits use of the
+.Fl C
+option when the administrator has enabled the
+.Em closefrom_override
+option.
+.if \n(LC \{\
+.It Fl c Ar class , Fl -login-class Ns = Ns Ar class
+Run the command with resource limits and scheduling priority of
+the specified login
+.Ar class .
+The
+.Ar class
+argument can be either a class name as defined in
+.Pa /etc/login.conf ,
+or a single

+character.
+If
+.Ar class
+is
+.Cm - ,
+the default login class of the target user will be used.
+Otherwise, the command must be run as the superuser (user-ID 0), or
+.Nm
+must be run from a shell that is already running as the superuser.
+If the command is being run as a login shell, additional
+.Pa /etc/login.conf

+be applied, if present.
+This option is only available on systems with
+.Bx
+login classes.
+.\}
+.It Fl D Ar directory , Fl -chdir Ns = Ns Ar directory
+Run the command in the specified
+.Ar directory
+instead of the current working directory.
+The security policy may return an error if the user does not have
+permission to specify the working directory.
+.It Fl E , -preserve-env
+Indicates to the security policy that the user wishes to
+preserve their existing environment variables.
+The security policy may return an error if the user does not have
+permission to preserve the environment.
+.It Fl -preserve-env=list
+Indicates to the security policy that the user wishes to add the
+comma-separated list of environment variables to those preserved
+from the user's environment.
+The security policy may return an error if the user does not have
+permission to preserve the environment.
+This option may be specified multiple times.
+.It Fl e , -edit
+Edit one or more files instead of running a command.
+In lieu of a path name, the string "sudoedit" is used when consulting
+the security policy.
+If the user is authorized by the policy, the following steps are
+taken:
+.Bl -enum -offset 4
+.It
+Temporary copies are made of the files to be edited with the owner
+set to the invoking user.
+.It
+The editor specified by the policy is run to edit the temporary
+files.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy uses the
+.Ev SUDO_EDITOR ,
+.Ev VISUAL
+and
+.Ev EDITOR
+environment variables (in that order).
+If none of
+.Ev SUDO_EDITOR ,
+.Ev VISUAL
+or
+.Ev EDITOR
+are set, the first program listed in the
+.Em editor
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+option is used.
+.It
+If they have been modified, the temporary files are copied back to

+.El
+.Pp
+To help prevent the editing of unauthorized files, the following
+restrictions are enforced unless explicitly allowed by the security policy:
+.Bl -bullet -offset 4 -width 1n
+.It
+Symbolic links may not be edited (version 1.8.15 and higher).
+.It
+Symbolic links along the path to be edited are not followed when the
+parent directory is writable by the invoking user unless that user
+is root (version 1.8.16 and higher).
+.It
+Files located in a directory that is writable by the invoking user may
+not be edited unless that user is root (version 1.8.16 and higher).
+.El
+.Pp
+Users are never allowed to edit device special files.
+.Pp
+If the specified file does not exist, it will be created.
+Note that unlike most commands run by
+.Em sudo ,
+the editor is run with the invoking user's environment unmodified.
+If the temporary file becomes empty after editing, the user will
+be prompted before it is installed.
+If, for some reason,
+.Nm
+is unable to update a file with its edited version, the user will
+receive a warning and the edited copy will remain in a temporary
+file.
+.It Fl g Ar group , Fl -group Ns = Ns Ar group
+Run the command with the primary group set to
+.Ar group
+instead of the primary group specified by the target
+user's password database entry.
+The
+.Ar group
+may be either a group name or a numeric group-ID
+.Pq GID
+prefixed with the
+.Ql #
+character (e.g.,
+.Li #0
+for GID 0).
+When running a command as a GID, many shells require that the
+.Ql #
+be escaped with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e .
+If no
+.Fl u
+option is specified, the command will be run as the invoking user.
+In either case, the primary group will be set to
+.Ar group .
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy permits any of the target user's groups to be specified via
+the
+.Fl g
+option as long as the
+.Fl P
+option is not in use.
+.It Fl H , -set-home
+Request that the security policy set the
+.Ev HOME
+environment variable to the home directory specified by the target
+user's password database entry.
+Depending on the policy, this may be the default behavior.
+.It Fl h , -help
+Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
+.It Fl h Ar host , Fl -host Ns = Ns Ar host
+Run the command on the specified
+.Ar host
+if the security policy plugin supports remote commands.
+Note that the
+.Em sudoers
+plugin does not currently support running remote commands.
+This may also be used in conjunction with the
+.Fl l
+option to list a user's privileges for the remote host.
+.It Fl i , -login
+Run the shell specified by the target user's password database entry
+as a login shell.
+This means that login-specific resource files such as
+.Pa .profile ,
+.Pa .bash_profile
+or
+.Pa .login
+will be read by the shell.
+If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution
+via the shell's
+.Fl c
+option.
+If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed.
+.Nm
+attempts to change to that user's home directory before running the
+shell.
+The command is run with an environment similar to the one
+a user would receive at log in.
+Note that most shells behave differently when a command is specified
+as compared to an interactive session; consult the shell's manual
+for details.
+The
+.Em Command environment
+section in the
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+manual documents how the
+.Fl i
+option affects the environment in which a command is run when the
+.Em sudoers
+policy is in use.
+.It Fl K , -remove-timestamp
+Similar to the
+.Fl k
+option, except that it removes the user's cached credentials entirely
+and may not be used in conjunction with a command or other option.
+This option does not require a password.
+Not all security policies support credential caching.
+.It Fl k , -reset-timestamp
+When used without a command, invalidates the user's cached credentials.
+In other words, the next time
+.Nm
+is run a password will be required.
+This option does not require a password and was added to allow a
+user to revoke
+.Nm
+permissions from a
+.Pa .logout
+file.
+.Pp
+When used in conjunction with a command or an option that may require
+a password, this option will cause
+.Nm
+to ignore the user's cached credentials.
+As a result,
+.Nm
+will prompt for a password (if one is required by the security
+policy) and will not update the user's cached credentials.
+.Pp
+Not all security policies support credential caching.
+.It Fl l , Fl -list
+If no
+.Ar command
+is specified,
+list the allowed (and forbidden) commands for the
+invoking user (or the user specified by the
+.Fl U
+option) on the current host.
+A longer list format is used if this option is specified multiple times
+and the security policy supports a verbose output format.
+.Pp
+If a
+.Ar command
+is specified and is permitted by the security policy, the fully-qualified
+path to the command is displayed along with any command line
+arguments.
+If a
+.Ar command
+is specified but not allowed by the policy,
+.Nm
+will exit with a status value of 1.
+.It Fl n , -non-interactive
+Avoid prompting the user for input of any kind.
+If a password is required for the command to run,
+.Nm
+will display an error message and exit.
+.It Fl P , -preserve-groups
+Preserve the invoking user's group vector unaltered.
+By default, the
+.Em sudoers
+policy will initialize the group vector to the list of groups the
+target user is a member of.
+The real and effective group-IDs, however, are still set to match
+the target user.
+.It Fl p Ar prompt , Fl -prompt Ns = Ns Ar prompt
+Use a custom password prompt with optional escape sequences.
+The following percent
+.Pq Ql %
+escape sequences are supported by the
+.Em sudoers
+policy:
+.Bl -tag -width 2n
+.It Li %H
+expanded to the host name including the domain name (on if the
+machine's host name is fully qualified or the
+.Em fqdn
+option is set in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ )
+.It Li %h
+expanded to the local host name without the domain name
+.It Li %p
+expanded to the name of the user whose password is being requested
+(respects the
+.Em rootpw ,
+.Em targetpw ,
+and
+.Em runaspw
+flags in

+.It Li \&%U
+expanded to the login name of the user the command will be run as
+(defaults to root unless the

+option is also specified)
+.It Li %u
+expanded to the invoking user's login name
+.It Li %%
+two consecutive
+.Ql %
+characters are collapsed into a single
+.Ql %
+character
+.El
+.Pp
+The custom prompt will override the default prompt specified by either
+the security policy or the
+.Ev SUDO_PROMPT
+environment variable.
+On systems that use PAM, the custom prompt will also override the prompt
+specified by a PAM module unless the
+.Em passprompt_override
+flag is disabled in
+.Em sudoers .
+.It Fl R Ar directory , Fl -chroot Ns = Ns Ar directory
+Change to the specified root
+.Ar directory
+(see
+.Xr chroot @mansectsu@ )
+before running the command.
+The security policy may return an error if the user does not have
+permission to specify the root directory.
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.It Fl r Ar role , Fl -role Ns = Ns Ar role
+Run the command with an SELinux security context that includes
+the specified
+.Ar role .
+.\}
+.It Fl S , -stdin
+Write the prompt to the standard error and read the password from the
+standard input instead of using the terminal device.
+.It Fl s , -shell
+Run the shell specified by the
+.Ev SHELL
+environment variable if it is set or the shell specified by the
+invoking user's password database entry.
+If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution
+via the shell's
+.Fl c
+option.
+If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed.
+Note that most shells behave differently when a command is specified
+as compared to an interactive session; consult the shell's manual
+for details.
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.It Fl t Ar type , Fl -type Ns = Ns Ar type
+Run the command with an SELinux security context that includes
+the specified
+.Ar type .
+If no
+.Ar type
+is specified, the default type is derived from the role.
+.\}
+.It Fl U Ar user , Fl -other-user Ns = Ns Ar user
+Used in conjunction with the
+.Fl l
+option to list the privileges for
+.Ar user
+instead of for the invoking user.
+The security policy may restrict listing other users' privileges.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy only allows root or a user with the
+.Li ALL
+privilege on the current host to use this option.
+.It Fl T Ar timeout , Fl -command-timeout Ns = Ns Ar timeout
+Used to set a timeout for the command.
+If the timeout expires before the command has exited, the
+command will be terminated.
+The security policy may restrict the ability to set command timeouts.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy requires that user-specified timeouts be explicitly enabled.
+.It Fl u Ar user , Fl -user Ns = Ns Ar user
+Run the command as a user other than the default target user
+(usually
+.Em root ) .
+The
+.Ar user
+may be either a user name or a numeric user-ID
+.Pq UID
+prefixed with the
+.Ql #
+character (e.g.,
+.Li #0
+for UID 0).
+When running commands as a UID, many shells require that the
+.Ql #
+be escaped with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e .
+Some security policies may restrict UIDs
+to those listed in the password database.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy allows UIDs that are not in the password database as long as the
+.Em targetpw
+option is not set.
+Other security policies may not support this.
+.It Fl V , -version
+Print the
+.Nm
+version string as well as the version string of the security
+policy plugin and any I/O plugins.
+If the invoking user is already root the
+.Fl V
+option will display the arguments passed to configure when
+.Nm
+was built and plugins may display more verbose information such as
+default options.
+.It Fl v , -validate
+Update the user's cached credentials, authenticating the user
+if necessary.
+For the
+.Em sudoers
+plugin, this extends the
+.Nm
+timeout for another
+.Li @timeout@
+minutes by default, but does not run a command.
+Not all security policies support cached credentials.
+.It Fl -
+The
+.Fl -
+option indicates that
+.Nm
+should stop processing command line arguments.
+.El
+.Pp
+Options that take a value may only be specified once unless
+otherwise indicated in the description.
+This is to help guard against problems caused by poorly written
+scripts that invoke
+.Nm sudo
+with user-controlled input.
+.Pp
+Environment variables to be set for the command may also be passed
+on the command line in the form of
+.Ar VAR Ns = Ns Ar value ,
+e.g.,
+.Ev LD_LIBRARY_PATH Ns = Ns Pa /usr/local/pkg/lib .
+Variables passed on the command line are subject to restrictions
+imposed by the security policy plugin.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy subjects variables passed on the command line to the same
+restrictions as normal environment variables with one important
+exception.
+If the
+.Em setenv
+option is set in
+.Em sudoers ,
+the command to be run has the
+.Li SETENV
+tag set or the command matched is
+.Li ALL ,
+the user may set variables that would otherwise be forbidden.
+See
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for more information.
+.Sh COMMAND EXECUTION
+When
+.Nm
+executes a command, the security policy specifies the execution
+environment for the command.
+Typically, the real and effective user and group and IDs are set to
+match those of the target user, as specified in the password database,
+and the group vector is initialized based on the group database
+(unless the
+.Fl P
+option was specified).
+.Pp
+The following parameters may be specified by security policy:
+.Bl -bullet -width 1n
+.It
+real and effective user-ID
+.It
+real and effective group-ID
+.It
+supplementary group-IDs
+.It
+the environment list
+.It
+current working directory
+.It
+file creation mode mask (umask)
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.It
+SELinux role and type
+.\}
+.if \n(PS \{\
+.It
+Solaris project
+.It
+Solaris privileges
+.\}
+.if \n(LC \{\
+.It
+.Bx
+login class
+.\}
+.It
+scheduling priority (aka nice value)
+.El
+.Ss Process model
+There are two distinct ways
+.Nm
+can run a command.
+.Pp
+If an I/O logging plugin is configured or if the security policy
+explicitly requests it, a new pseudo-terminal
+.Pq Dq pty
+is allocated and
+.Xr fork 2
+is used to create a second
+.Nm
+process, referred to as the
+.Em monitor .
+The
+.Em monitor
+creates a new terminal session with itself as the leader and the pty as its
+controlling terminal, calls
+.Xr fork 2 ,
+sets up the execution environment as described above, and then uses the
+.Xr execve 2
+system call to run the command in the child process.
+The
+.Em monitor
+exists to relay job control signals between the user's
+existing terminal and the pty the command is being run in.
+This makes it possible to suspend and resume the command.
+Without the monitor, the command would be in what POSIX terms an
+.Dq orphaned process group
+and it would not receive any job control signals from the kernel.
+When the command exits or is terminated by a signal, the
+.Em monitor
+passes the command's exit status to the main
+.Nm
+process and exits.
+After receiving the command's exit status, the main
+.Nm
+passes the command's exit status to the security policy's close function
+and exits.
+.Pp
+If no pty is used,
+.Nm
+calls
+.Xr fork 2 ,
+sets up the execution environment as described above, and uses the
+.Xr execve 2
+system call to run the command in the child process.
+The main
+.Nm
+process waits until the command has completed, then passes the
+command's exit status to the security policy's close function and exits.
+As a special case, if the policy plugin does not define a close
+function,
+.Nm
+will execute the command directly instead of calling
+.Xr fork 2
+first.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+policy plugin will only define a close function when I/O logging
+is enabled, a pty is required, or the
+.Em pam_session
+or
+.Em pam_setcred
+options are enabled.
+Note that
+.Em pam_session
+and
+.Em pam_setcred
+are enabled by default on systems using PAM.
+.Pp
+On systems that use PAM, the security policy's close function
+is responsible for closing the PAM session.
+It may also log the command's exit status.
+.Ss Signal handling
+When the command is run as a child of the
+.Nm
+process,
+.Nm
+will relay signals it receives to the command.
+The
+.Dv SIGINT
+and
+.Dv SIGQUIT
+signals are only relayed when the command is being run in a new pty
+or when the signal was sent by a user process, not the kernel.
+This prevents the command from receiving
+.Dv SIGINT
+twice each time the user enters control-C.
+Some signals, such as
+.Dv SIGSTOP
+and
+.Dv SIGKILL ,
+cannot be caught and thus will not be relayed to the command.
+As a general rule,
+.Dv SIGTSTP
+should be used instead of
+.Dv SIGSTOP
+when you wish to suspend a command being run by
+.Nm .
+.Pp
+As a special case,
+.Nm
+will not relay signals that were sent by the command it is running.
+This prevents the command from accidentally killing itself.
+On some systems, the
+.Xr reboot @mansectsu@
+command sends
+.Dv SIGTERM
+to all non-system processes other than itself before rebooting
+the system.
+This prevents
+.Nm
+from relaying the
+.Dv SIGTERM
+signal it received back to
+.Xr reboot @mansectsu@ ,
+which might then exit before the system was actually rebooted,
+leaving it in a half-dead state similar to single user mode.
+Note, however, that this check only applies to the command run by
+.Nm
+and not any other processes that the command may create.
+As a result, running a script that calls
+.Xr reboot @mansectsu@
+or
+.Xr shutdown @mansectsu@
+via
+.Nm
+may cause the system to end up in this undefined state unless the
+.Xr reboot @mansectsu@
+or
+.Xr shutdown @mansectsu@
+are run using the
+.Fn exec
+family of functions instead of
+.Fn system
+(which interposes a shell between the command and the calling process).
+.Pp
+If no I/O logging plugins are loaded and the policy plugin has not
+defined a
+.Fn close
+function, set a command timeout or required that the command be
+run in a new pty,
+.Nm
+may execute the command directly instead of running it as a child process.
+.Ss Plugins
+Plugins may be specified via
+.Li Plugin
+directives in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file.
+They may be loaded as dynamic shared objects (on systems that support them),
+or compiled directly into the
+.Nm
+binary.
+If no
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file is present, or if it doesn't contain any
+.Li Plugin
+lines,
+.Nm
+will use
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for the policy, auditing and I/O logging plugins.
+See the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+manual for details of the
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudo.conf
+file and the
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansectform@
+manual for more information about the
+.Nm
+plugin architecture.
+.Sh EXIT VALUE
+Upon successful execution of a command, the exit status from
+.Nm
+will be the exit status of the program that was executed.
+If the command terminated due to receipt of a signal,
+.Nm
+will send itself the same signal that terminated the command.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl l
+option was specified without a command,
+.Nm
+will exit with a value of 0 if the user is allowed to run
+.Nm
+and they authenticated successfully (as required by the security policy).
+If a command is specified with the
+.Fl l
+option, the exit value will only be 0 if the command is permitted by the
+security policy, otherwise it will be 1.
+.Pp
+If there is an authentication failure, a configuration/permission
+problem or if the given command cannot be executed,
+.Nm
+exits with a value of 1.
+In the latter case, the error string is printed to the standard error.
+If
+.Nm
+cannot
+.Xr stat 2
+one or more entries in the user's
+.Ev PATH ,
+an error is printed to the standard error.
+(If the directory does not exist or if it is not really a directory,
+the entry is ignored and no error is printed.)
+This should not happen under normal circumstances.
+The most common reason for
+.Xr stat 2
+to return
+.Dq permission denied
+is if you are running an automounter and one of the directories in
+your
+.Ev PATH
+is on a machine that is currently unreachable.
+.Sh SECURITY NOTES
+.Nm
+tries to be safe when executing external commands.
+.Pp
+To prevent command spoofing,
+.Nm
+checks "." and "" (both denoting current directory) last when
+searching for a command in the user's
+.Ev PATH
+(if one or both are in the
+.Ev PATH ) .
+Note, however, that the actual
+.Ev PATH
+environment variable is
+.Em not
+modified and is passed unchanged to the program that
+.Nm
+executes.
+.Pp
+Users should
+.Em never
+be granted
+.Nm
+privileges to execute files that are writable by the user or
+that reside in a directory that is writable by the user.
+If the user can modify or replace the command there is no way
+to limit what additional commands they can run.
+.Pp
+Please note that
+.Nm
+will normally only log the command it explicitly runs.
+If a user runs a command such as
+.Li sudo su
+or
+.Li sudo sh ,
+subsequent commands run from that shell are not subject to
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+security policy.
+The same is true for commands that offer shell escapes (including
+most editors).
+If I/O logging is enabled, subsequent commands will have their input and/or
+output logged, but there will not be traditional logs for those commands.
+Because of this, care must be taken when giving users access to commands via
+.Nm
+to verify that the command does not inadvertently give the user an
+effective root shell.
+For more information, please see the
+.Em Preventing shell escapes
+section in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+To prevent the disclosure of potentially sensitive information,
+.Nm
+disables core dumps by default while it is executing (they are
+re-enabled for the command that is run).
+This historical practice dates from a time when most operating
+systems allowed set-user-ID processes to dump core by default.
+To aid in debugging
+.Nm
+crashes, you may wish to re-enable core dumps by setting
+.Dq disable_coredump
+to false in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Set disable_coredump false
+.Ed
+.Pp
+See the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@

+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Li editing files in a writable directory is not permitted
+By default,
+.Nm sudoedit
+does not permit editing a file when any of the parent directories are writable
+by the invoking user.
+This avoids a race condition that could allow the user to overwrite
+an arbitrary file.
+See the
+.Em sudoedit_checkdir
+option in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for more information.
+.It Li editing symbolic links is not permitted
+By default,
+.Nm sudoedit
+does not follow symbolic links when opening files.
+See the
+.Em sudoedit_follow
+option in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+for more information.
+.It Li effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?
+.Nm
+was not run with root privileges.
+The
+.Nm
+binary must be owned by the root user and have the set-user-ID bit set.
+Also, it must not be located on a file system mounted with the
+.Sq nosuid
+option or on an NFS file system that maps uid 0 to an unprivileged uid.
+.It Li effective uid is not 0, is sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?
+.Nm
+was not run with root privileges.
+The
+.Nm
+binary has the proper owner and permissions but it still did not run
+with root privileges.
+The most common reason for this is that the file system the
+.Nm
+binary is located on is mounted with the
+.Sq nosuid
+option or it is an NFS file system that maps uid 0 to an unprivileged uid.
+.It Li fatal error, unable to load plugins
+An error occurred while loading or initializing the plugins specified in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+.It Li invalid environment variable name
+One or more environment variable names specified via the
+.Fl E
+option contained an equal sign
+.Pq Ql = .
+The arguments to the
+.Fl E
+option should be environment variable names without an associated value.
+.It Li no password was provided
+When
+.Nm
+tried to read the password, it did not receive any characters.
+This may happen if no terminal is available (or the
+.Fl S
+option is specified) and the standard input has been redirected from
+.Pa /dev/null .
+.It Li a terminal is required to read the password
+.Nm
+needs to read the password but there is no mechanism available for it
+to do so.
+A terminal is not present to read the password from,
+.Nm
+has not been configured to read from the standard input,
+the
+.Fl S
+option was not used, and no askpass helper has been specified either via the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file or the

+environment variable.
+.It Li no writable temporary directory found
+.Nm sudoedit
+was unable to find a usable temporary directory in which to store its
+intermediate files.
+.It Li sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
+.Nm
+was not run with root privileges.
+The
+.Nm
+binary does not have the correct owner or permissions.
+It must be owned by the root user and have the set-user-ID bit set.
+.It Li sudoedit is not supported on this platform
+It is only possible to run
+.Nm sudoedit
+on systems that support setting the effective user-ID.
+.It Li timed out reading password
+The user did not enter a password before the password timeout
+(5 minutes by default) expired.
+.It Li you do not exist in the passwd database
+Your user-ID does not appear in the system passwd database.
+.It Li you may not specify environment variables in edit mode

+.Sh CAVEATS
+There is no easy way to prevent a user from gaining a root shell
+if that user is allowed to run arbitrary commands via
+.Nm .
+Also, many programs (such as editors) allow the user to run commands
+via shell escapes, thus avoiding
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+checks.
+However, on most systems it is possible to prevent shell escapes with the
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@
+plugin's
+.Em noexec
+functionality.
+.Pp
+It is not meaningful to run the
+.Li cd
+command directly via sudo, e.g.,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ sudo cd /usr/local/protected
+.Ed
+.Pp
+since when the command exits the parent process (your shell) will
+still be the same.
+Please see the

+Running shell scripts via

+\- Sudo log server protocol
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+Starting with version 1.9.0,
+\fBsudo\fR
+supports sending event and I/O logs to a log server.
+The protocol used is written in Google's Protocol Buffers domain
+specific language.
+The
+\fIEXAMPLES\fR
+section includes a complete description of the protocol in Protocol
+Buffers format.
+.PP
+Because there is no way to determine message boundaries when using
+Protocol Buffers, the wire size of each message is sent immediately
+preceding the message itself as a 32-bit unsigned integer in network
+byte order.
+This is referred to as
+\(lqlength-prefix framing\(rq
+and is how Google suggests handling the lack of message delimiters.
+.PP
+The protocol is made up of two basic messages,
+\fIClientMessage\fR
+and
+\fIServerMessage\fR,
+described below.
+The server must accept messages up to two megabytes in size.
+The server may return an error if the client tries to send a message
+larger than two megabytes.
+.SH "Client Messages"

+Server sends the final
+\fIcommit_point\fR
+if one is pending.
+.TP 5n
+10.\&
+Server closes the connection.
+After receiving the final
+\fIcommit_point\fR,

+11.\&
+Server shuts down its side of the TLS connection if TLS is in use,
+and closes the connection.
+.PP
+At any point, the server may send an
+\fIerror\fR
+or
+\fIabort\fR
+message to the client at which point the server will close the

+Some variables have a
+\fIclient\fR,
+\fIrun\fR,
+or
+\fIsubmit\fR
+prefix.
+These prefixes are used to eliminate ambiguity for variables that
+could apply to the client program, the user submitting the command,
+or the command being run.
+Variables with a
+\fIclient\fR
+prefix pertain to the program performing the connection to the log
+server, for example
+\fBsudo\fR.
+Variables with a
+\fIrun\fR
+prefix pertain to the command that the user requested be run.
+Variables with a
+\fIsubmit\fR
+prefix pertain to the user submitting the request
+(the user running \fBsudo\fR).

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudo_logsrv.proto
+.Nd Sudo log server protocol
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Starting with version 1.9.0,
+.Nm sudo
+supports sending event and I/O logs to a log server.
+The protocol used is written in Google's Protocol Buffers domain
+specific language.
+The
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+section includes a complete description of the protocol in Protocol
+Buffers format.
+.Pp
+Because there is no way to determine message boundaries when using
+Protocol Buffers, the wire size of each message is sent immediately
+preceding the message itself as a 32-bit unsigned integer in network
+byte order.
+This is referred to as
+.Dq length-prefix framing
+and is how Google suggests handling the lack of message delimiters.
+.Pp
+The protocol is made up of two basic messages,
+.Em ClientMessage
+and
+.Em ServerMessage ,
+described below.
+The server must accept messages up to two megabytes in size.
+The server may return an error if the client tries to send a message
+larger than two megabytes.
+.Sh Client Messages
+A
+.Em ClientMessage
+is a container used to encapsulate all the possible message types
+a client may send to the server.
+.Bd -literal
+message ClientMessage {
+ oneof type {
+ AcceptMessage accept_msg = 1;
+ RejectMessage reject_msg = 2;
+ ExitMessage exit_msg = 3;
+ RestartMessage restart_msg = 4;
+ AlertMessage alert_msg = 5;
+ IoBuffer ttyin_buf = 6;
+ IoBuffer ttyout_buf = 7;
+ IoBuffer stdin_buf = 8;
+ IoBuffer stdout_buf = 9;
+ IoBuffer stderr_buf = 10;
+ ChangeWindowSize winsize_event = 11;
+ CommandSuspend suspend_event = 12;
+ ClientHello hello_msg = 13;
+ }
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The different
+.Em ClientMessage
+sub-messages the client may sent to the server are described below.
+.Ss TimeSpec
+.Bd -literal
+message TimeSpec {
+ int64 tv_sec = 1;
+ int32 tv_nsec = 2;
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+A
+.Em TimeSpec
+is the equivalent of a POSIX
+.Li struct timespec ,
+containing seconds and nanoseconds members.
+The
+.Em tv_sec
+member is a 64-bit integer to support dates after the year 2038.
+.Ss InfoMessage
+.Bd -literal
+message InfoMessage {

+ string strval = 3;
+ StringList strlistval = 4;
+ NumberList numlistval = 5;
+ }
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+An
+.Em InfoMessage
+is used to represent information about the invoking user as well as the
+execution environment the command runs in the form of key-value pairs.
+The key is always a string but the value may be a 64-bit integer,
+a string, an array of strings or an array of 64-bit integers.
+The event log data is composed of
+.Em InfoMessage
+entries.
+See the
+.Sx EVENT LOG VARIABLES
+section for more information.
+.Ss ClientHello hello_msg
+.Bd -literal
+message ClientHello {
+ string client_id = 1;

+.Ed
+.Pp
+An

+The wall clock time when the command was submitted to the security policy.
+.It info_msgs
+An array of
+.Em InfoMessage
+describing the user who submitted the command as well as the execution
+environment of the command.
+This information is used to generate an event log entry and may also be
+used by server to determine where and how the I/O log is stored.
+.It expect_iobufs
+Set to true if the server should expect
+.Em IoBuffer
+messages to follow (for I/O logging) or false if the server should only
+store the event log.
+.El
+.Pp
+If an
+.Em AcceptMessage
+is sent, the client must not send a
+.Em RejectMessage
+or
+.Em RestartMessage .
+.Ss RejectMessage reject_msg
+.Bd -literal
+message RejectMessage {
+ TimeSpec submit_time = 1;
+ string reason = 2;
+ repeated InfoMessage info_msgs = 3;

+.Ed
+.Pp
+A
+.Em RejectMessage

+.It submit_time
+The wall clock time when the command was submitted to the security policy.
+.It reason
+The reason the security policy gave for denying the command.
+.It info_msgs
+An array of

+.Pp
+.Ed
+An
+.Em ExitMessage
+is sent by the client after the command has exited or has been
+terminated by a signal.
+It contains the following members:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It run_time
+The total amount of elapsed time since the command started,
+calculated using a monotonic clock where possible.
+This is not the wall clock time.
+.It exit_value
+The command's exit value in the range 0-255.
+.It dumped_core
+True if the command was terminated by a signal and dumped core.
+.It signal
+If the command was terminated by a signal, this is set to the
+name of the signal without the leading

+For example,
+.Li INT ,
+.Li TERM ,
+.Li KILL ,
+.Li SEGV .
+.It error
+A message from the client indicating that the command was terminated
+unexpectedly due to an error.
+.El
+.Pp
+When performing I/O logging, the client should wait for a
+.Em commit_point
+corresponding to the final
+.Em IoBuffer
+before closing the connection unless the final
+.Em commit_point
+has already been received.
+.Ss RestartMessage restart_msg
+.Bd -literal

+was previously interrupted.
+It contains the following members:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It log_id
+The the server-side name for an I/O log that was previously
+sent to the client by the server.
+This may be a path name on the server or some other kind of server-side
+identifier.
+.It resume_point
+The point in time after which to resume the I/O log.
+This is in the form of a
+.Em TimeSpec
+representing the amount of time since the command started, not
+the wall clock time.
+The
+.Em resume_point
+should correspond to a
+.Em commit_point
+previously sent to the client by the server.
+If the server receives a
+.Em RestartMessage
+containing a
+.Em resume_point
+it has not previously seen, an error will be returned to the client
+and the connection will be dropped.
+.El
+.Pp
+If a
+.Em RestartMessage

+The wall clock time when the alert occurred.
+.It reason
+The reason for the alert.
+.It info_msgs

+The elapsed time since the last record in the form of a
+.Em TimeSpec .
+The
+.Em delay
+should be calculated using a monotonic clock where possible.
+.It data

+.El
+.Sh Server Messages
+A
+.Em ServerMessage
+is a container used to encapsulate all the possible message types

+running on the log server.
+This member is always present.
+.It redirect
+A host and port separated by a colon
+.Pq Ql :
+that the client should connect to instead.
+The host may be a host name, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address
+in square brackets.
+This may be used for server load balancing.
+The server will disconnect after sending the
+.Em ServerHello
+when it includes a
+.Sy redirect .
+.It servers
+A list of other known log servers.
+This can be used to implement log server redundancy and allows the
+client to discover all other log servers simply by connecting to
+one known server.
+This member may be omitted when there is only a single log server.
+.El
+.Ss TimeSpec commit_point
+A periodic time stamp sent by the server to indicate when I/O log
+buffers have been committed to storage.
+This message is not sent after every
+.Em IoBuffer
+but rather at a server-configurable interval.
+When the server receives an
+.Em ExitMessage ,
+it will respond with a
+.Em commit_point
+corresponding to the last received
+.Em IoBuffer
+before closing the connection.
+.Ss string log_id
+The server-side ID of the I/O log being stored, sent in response
+to an
+.Em AcceptMessage
+where
+.Em expect_iobufs
+is true.
+.Ss string error
+A fatal server-side error.
+The server will close the connection after sending the
+.Em error
+message.
+.Ss string abort
+An
+.Em abort
+message from the server indicates that the client should kill the
+command and terminate the session.
+It may be used to implement simple server-side policy.
+The server will close the connection after sending the
+.Em abort
+message.
+.Sh Protocol flow of control
+The expected protocol flow is as follows:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+Client connects to the first available server.
+If the client is configured to use TLS, a TLS handshake will be
+attempted.
+.It
+Client sends
+.Em ClientHello .
+This is currently optional but allows the server to detect a
+non-TLS connection on the TLS port.
+.It
+Server sends
+.Em ServerHello .
+.It
+Client responds with either
+.Em AcceptMessage ,
+.Em RejectMessage ,
+or
+.Em RestartMessage .
+.It
+If client sent a
+.Em AcceptMessage
+with
+.Em expect_iobufs
+set, server creates a new I/O log and responds with a
+.Em log_id .
+.It
+Client sends zero or more
+.Em IoBuffer
+messages.
+.It
+Server periodically responds to
+.Em IoBuffer
+messages with a
+.Em commit_point .
+.It
+Client sends an
+.Em ExitMessage
+when the command exits or is killed.
+.It
+Server sends the final
+.Em commit_point
+if one is pending.
+.It
+Server closes the connection.
+After receiving the final
+.Em commit_point ,
+the client shuts down its side of the TLS connection if TLS
+is in use, and closes the connection.
+.It
+Server shuts down its side of the TLS connection if TLS is in use,
+and closes the connection.
+.El
+.Pp
+At any point, the server may send an
+.Em error
+or
+.Em abort
+message to the client at which point the server will close the
+connection.
+If an
+.Em abort
+message is received, the client should terminate the running command.
+.Sh EVENT LOG VARIABLES
+.Em AcceptMessage ,
+.Em AlertMessage
+and
+.Em RejectMessage
+classes contain an array of
+.Em InfoMessage
+that should contain information about the user who submitted the command
+as well as information about the execution environment of the command
+if it was accepted.
+.Pp
+Some variables have a
+.Em client ,
+.Em run ,
+or
+.Em submit
+prefix.
+These prefixes are used to eliminate ambiguity for variables that
+could apply to the client program, the user submitting the command,
+or the command being run.
+Variables with a
+.Em client
+prefix pertain to the program performing the connection to the log
+server, for example
+.Nm sudo .
+Variables with a
+.Em run
+prefix pertain to the command that the user requested be run.
+Variables with a
+.Em submit
+prefix pertain to the user submitting the request
+.Pq the user running Nm sudo .

+It uses an INI-style format made up of sections in square brackets and
+\(lqkey = value\(rq
+pairs specific to each section below the section name.
+Depending on the key, values may be integers, booleans or strings.
+Section and key names are not case sensitive, but values are.
+.PP
+The pound sign
+(\(oq#\(cq)
+is used to indicate a comment.
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+Lines beginning with a semi-colon
+(\(oq\&;\(cq)
+are also ignored.
+.PP
+Long lines can be continued with a backslash
+(\(oq\e\(cq)
+as the last character on the line.
+Note that leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
+even when the continuation character is used.

+The following keys are recognized:
+.TP 10n
+listen_address = host[:port][(tls)]
+The host name or IP address, optional port to listen on and
+an optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
+.sp
+The host may be a host name, an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address
+in square brackets or the wild card entry
+\(oq*\(cq.
+A host setting of
+\(oq*\(cq

+for details on generating TLS keys and certificates.
+.sp
+If a port is specified, it may either be a port number or a known
+service name as defined by the system service name database.
+If no port is specified, port 30343 will be used for plaintext
+connections and port 30344 will be used for TLS connections.

+.RS 10n
+which will listen on all configured network interfaces for both
+plaintext and TLS connections.
+Multiple
+\fIlisten_address\fR
+lines may be specified to listen on more than one port or interface.
+.RE
+.TP 10n
+pid_file = path
+The path to the file containing the process ID of the running
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR.
+If set to an empty value, or if
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+is run with the
+\fB\-n\fR

+.TP 10n
+tcp_keepalive = boolean
+If true,
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+will enable the TCP keepalive socket option on the client connection.
+This enables the periodic transmission of keepalive messages to the client.
+If the client does not respond to a message, the connection will be closed.
+.TP 10n
+timeout = number
+The amount of time, in seconds,
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+will wait for the client to respond.
+A value of 0 will disable the timeout.
+The default value is 30.
+.TP 10n
+tls_cacert = path
+The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format,
+to use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
+when authenticating clients.
+The default is to use
+\fI/etc/ssl/sudo/cacert.pem\fR
+if it exists, otherwise the system's default certificate authority
+database is used.
+.TP 10n
+tls_cert = path
+The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format.
+The default value is
+\fI/etc/ssl/sudo/certs/logsrvd_cert.pem\fR.
+.TP 10n
+tls_checkpeer = bool
+If true, client certificates will be validated by the server;
+clients without a valid certificate will be unable to connect.
+If false, no validation of client certificates will be performed.
+It true and client certificates are created using a private certificate
+authority, the
+\fItls_cacert\fR

+.TP 10n
+tls_verify = bool
+If true, the server certificate will be verified at startup and
+clients will authenticate the server by verifying its certificate
+and identity.
+If false, no verification is performed of the server certificate
+by the server or the client.
+When using self-signed certificates without a certificate authority,
+this setting should be set to false.
+The default value is true.
+.SS "iolog"
+The
+\fIiolog\fR
+section configures I/O log parameters.
+These settings are identical to the I/O configuration in
+sudoers(@mansectform@).
+The following keys are recognized:
+.TP 10n
+iolog_compress = boolean
+If set, I/O logs will be compressed using
+\fBzlib\fR.
+Enabling compression can make it harder to view the logs in real-time as
+the program is executing due to buffering.
+The default value is
+\fRfalse\fR.
+.TP 10n
+iolog_dir = path
+The top-level directory to use when constructing the path
+name for the I/O log directory.

+.TP 6n
+\fR%{command}\fR
+expanded to the base name of the command being run
+.PP
+In addition, any escape sequences supported by the system's
+strftime(3)
+function will be expanded.
+.sp
+To include a literal
+\(oq%\(cq
+character, the string
+\(oq%%\(cq
+should be used.
+.RE
+.TP 10n
+iolog_file = path
+The path name, relative to
+\fIiolog_dir\fR,
+in which to store I/O logs.
+Note that
+\fIiolog_file\fR
+may contain directory components.
+The default value is
+\fR%{seq}\fR.
+.sp
+See the
+\fIiolog_dir\fR
+setting above for a list of supported percent
+(\(oq%\(cq)
+escape sequences.
+.sp
+In addition to the escape sequences, path names that end in six or
+more
+\fRX\fRs
+will have the
+\fRX\fRs
+replaced with a unique combination of digits and letters, similar to the
+mktemp(3)
+function.
+.sp
+If the path created by concatenating
+\fIiolog_dir\fR
+and
+\fIiolog_file\fR
+already exists, the existing I/O log file will be truncated and
+overwritten unless
+\fIiolog_file\fR
+ends in six or
+more
+\fRX\fRs.
+.TP 10n
+iolog_flush = boolean
+If set, I/O log data is flushed to disk after each write instead of
+buffering it.
+This makes it possible to view the logs in real-time as the program is
+executing but may significantly reduce the effectiveness
+of I/O log compression.
+The default value is
+\fRtrue\fR.
+.TP 10n
+iolog_group = name
+The group name to look up when setting the group-ID on new I/O log
+files and directories.
+If
+\fIiolog_group\fR
+is not set,
+the primary group-ID of the user specified by
+\fIiolog_user is used.\fR
+If neither
+\fIiolog_group\fR
+nor
+\fIiolog_user\fR
+are set, I/O log files and directories are created with group-ID 0.
+.TP 10n
+iolog_mode = mode
+The file mode to use when creating I/O log files.
+Mode bits for read and write permissions for owner, group or other
+are honored, everything else is ignored.
+The file permissions will always include the owner read and
+write bits, even if they are not present in the specified mode.
+When creating I/O log directories, search (execute) bits are added
+to match the read and write bits specified by
+\fIiolog_mode\fR.
+The default value is
+\fR0600\fR.
+.TP 10n
+iolog_user = name
+The user name to look up when setting the owner of new
+I/O log files and directories.
+If
+\fIiolog_group\fR
+is set, it will be used instead of the user's primary group-ID.
+By default, I/O log files and directories are created with user and
+group-ID 0.
+.TP 10n
+maxseq = number
+The maximum sequence number that will be substituted for the
+\(lq\fR%{seq}\fR\(rq
+escape in the I/O log file (see the
+\fIiolog_dir\fR
+description above for more information).
+While the value substituted for
+\(lq\fR%{seq}\fR\(rq
+is in base 36,
+\fImaxseq\fR
+itself should be expressed in decimal.
+Values larger than 2176782336 (which corresponds to the
+base 36 sequence number
+\(lqZZZZZZ\(rq)
+will be silently truncated to 2176782336.
+The default value is 2176782336.
+.SS "eventlog"
+The
+\fIeventlog\fR
+section configures how (and if) security policy events are logged.
+.TP 6n
+log_type = string
+Where to log accept, reject and alert events reported by the policy.
+Supported values are
+\fIsyslog\fR,
+\fIlogfile\fR,
+and
+\fInone\fR.
+The default value is
+\fIsyslog\fR.
+.TP 6n
+log_format = string
+The event log format.
+Supported log formats are
+\(lqsudo\(rq
+for traditional sudo-style logs and
+\(lqjson\(rq
+for JSON-format logs.
+The JSON log entries contain the full contents of the accept, reject
+and alert messages.
+The default value is
+\fIsudo\fR.
+.SS "syslog"
+The
+\fIsyslog\fR
+section configures how events are logged via
+syslog(3).
+.TP 6n
+facility = string
+Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging.
+Defaults to
+\fR@logfac@\fR.
+.sp
+The following syslog facilities are supported:
+\fBauthpriv\fR
+(if your
+OS supports it),
+\fBauth\fR,
+\fBdaemon\fR,
+\fBuser\fR,
+\fBlocal0\fR,
+\fBlocal1\fR,
+\fBlocal2\fR,
+\fBlocal3\fR,
+\fBlocal4\fR,
+\fBlocal5\fR,
+\fBlocal6\fR,
+and
+\fBlocal7\fR.
+.TP 6n
+accept_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use when the user is allowed to run a command and
+authentication is successful.
+Defaults to
+\fR@goodpri@\fR.
+.sp
+The following syslog priorities are supported:
+\fBalert\fR,
+\fBcrit\fR,
+\fBdebug\fR,
+\fBemerg\fR,
+\fBerr\fR,
+\fBinfo\fR,
+\fBnotice\fR,
+\fBwarning\fR,
+and
+\fBnone\fR.
+Setting it to a value of
+\fBnone\fR
+will disable logging of successful commands.
+.TP 6n
+reject_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use when the user is not allowed to run a command or
+when authentication is unsuccessful.
+Defaults to
+\fR@badpri@\fR.
+.sp
+See
+\fIaccept_priority\fR
+for the list of supported syslog priorities.
+.TP 6n
+alert_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use for event log alert messages received from the client.
+Defaults to
+\fR@badpri@\fR.
+.sp
+See
+\fIaccept_priority\fR
+for the list of supported syslog priorities.
+.TP 6n
+maxlen = number
+On many systems,
+syslog(3)
+has a relatively small log buffer.
+IETF RFC 5424 states that syslog servers must support messages of
+at least 480 bytes and should support messages up to 2048 bytes.
+By default,
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+creates log messages up to 960 bytes which corresponds to the
+historic
+BSD
+syslog implementation which used a 1024 byte buffer
+to store the message, date, hostname and program name.
+.sp
+To prevent syslog messages from being truncated,
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+will split up sudo-style log messages that are larger than
+\fImaxlen\fR
+bytes.
+When a message is split, additional parts will include the string
+\(lq(command continued)\(rq
+after the user name and before the continued command line arguments.
+JSON-format log entries are never split and are not affected by
+\fImaxlen\fR.
+.SS "logfile"
+The
+\fIlogfile\fR
+section consists of settings related to logging to a plain file
+(not syslog).
+.TP 6n
+path = string
+The path to the file-based event log.
+This path must be fully-qualified and start with a
+\(oq/\(cq
+character.
+The default value is
+\fI@logpath@\fR.
+.TP 6n
+time_format = string
+The string used when formatting the date and time for file-based event logs.
+Formatting is performed via the system's
+strftime(3)
+function so any escape sequences supported by that function will be expanded.
+The default value is
+\(lq\fR%h %e %T\fR\(rq
+which produces dates like
+\(lqOct 3 07:15:24\(rq
+in the C locale.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd.conf
+.Nd configuration for sudo_logsrvd
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd.conf
+file is used to configure the
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+log server.
+It uses an INI-style format made up of sections in square brackets and
+.Dq key = value
+pairs specific to each section below the section name.
+Depending on the key, values may be integers, booleans or strings.
+Section and key names are not case sensitive, but values are.
+.Pp
+The pound sign
+.Pq Ql #
+is used to indicate a comment.
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+Lines beginning with a semi-colon
+.Pq Ql \&;
+are also ignored.
+.Pp
+Long lines can be continued with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+as the last character on the line.
+Note that leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
+even when the continuation character is used.
+.Pp
+The
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+section contains a copy of the default
+.Nm
+file.
+.Pp
+The following configuration sections are recognized:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
+.It
+server
+.It
+iolog
+.It
+eventlog
+.It
+syslog
+.It
+logfile
+.El
+.Pp
+Each section is described in detail below.
+.Ss server
+The
+.Em server
+section configures the address and port the server will listen on.
+The following keys are recognized:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It listen_address = host Ns Oo : Ns port Oc Ns Op (tls)
+The host name or IP address, optional port to listen on and
+an optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
+.Pp
+The host may be a host name, an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address
+in square brackets or the wild card entry
+.Ql * .
+A host setting of
+.Ql *
+will cause
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+to listen on all configured network interfaces.
+.Pp
+If the optional tls flag is present,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+will secure the connection with TLS version 1.2 or 1.3.
+Versions of TLS prior to 1.2 are not supported.
+See
+.Xr sudo_logsrvd @mansectsu@
+for details on generating TLS keys and certificates.
+.Pp
+If a port is specified, it may either be a port number or a known
+service name as defined by the system service name database.
+If no port is specified, port 30343 will be used for plaintext
+connections and port 30344 will be used for TLS connections.
+.Pp
+The default value is:
+.Bd -literal -compact -offset indent
+listen_address = *:30343
+listen_address = *:30344(tls)
+.Ed
+which will listen on all configured network interfaces for both
+plaintext and TLS connections.
+Multiple
+.Em listen_address
+lines may be specified to listen on more than one port or interface.
+.It pid_file = path
+The path to the file containing the process ID of the running
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd .
+If set to an empty value, or if
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+is run with the
+.Fl n
+option, no
+.Em pid_file
+will be created.
+If
+.Em pid_file
+refers to a symbolic link, it will be ignored.
+The default value is
+.Pa @rundir@/sudo_logsrvd.pid .
+.It tcp_keepalive = boolean
+If true,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+will enable the TCP keepalive socket option on the client connection.
+This enables the periodic transmission of keepalive messages to the client.
+If the client does not respond to a message, the connection will be closed.
+.It timeout = number
+The amount of time, in seconds,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+will wait for the client to respond.
+A value of 0 will disable the timeout.
+The default value is 30.
+.It tls_cacert = path
+The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format,
+to use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
+when authenticating clients.
+The default is to use
+.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/cacert.pem
+if it exists, otherwise the system's default certificate authority
+database is used.
+.It tls_cert = path
+The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format.
+The default value is
+.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/certs/logsrvd_cert.pem .
+.It tls_checkpeer = bool
+If true, client certificates will be validated by the server;
+clients without a valid certificate will be unable to connect.
+If false, no validation of client certificates will be performed.
+It true and client certificates are created using a private certificate
+authority, the
+.Em tls_cacert
+setting must be set to a CA bundle that contains the CA certificate
+used to generate the client certificate.
+The default value is
+.Li false .
+.It tls_ciphers_v12 = string
+A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.2 only,
+separated by a colon
+.Ql :\& .
+See the
+.Sx CIPHER LIST FORMAT
+section in
+.Xr openssl-ciphers 1
+for full details.
+The default value is
+.Li HIGH:!aNULL
+which consists of encryption cipher suites with key lengths larger than
+128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit keys.
+Cipher suites that offer no authentication are excluded.
+.It tls_ciphers_v13 = string
+A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.3 only,
+separated by a colon
+.Ql :\& .
+Supported cipher suites depend on the version of OpenSSL used,
+but should include the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -compact -width 8n -offset indent
+.It TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
+.It TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
+.It TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
+.It TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
+.It TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256
+.El
+.Pp
+The default cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
+.It tls_dhparams = path
+The path to a file containing custom Diffie-Hellman parameters in PEM format.
+This file can be created with the following command:
+.Bd -literal
+openssl dhparam -out /etc/sudo_logsrvd_dhparams.pem 2048
+.Ed
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+will use the OpenSSL defaults for Diffie-Hellman key generation.
+.It tls_key = path
+The path to the server's private key file, in PEM format.
+The default value is
+.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/private/logsrvd_key.pem .
+.It tls_verify = bool
+If true, the server certificate will be verified at startup and
+clients will authenticate the server by verifying its certificate
+and identity.
+If false, no verification is performed of the server certificate
+by the server or the client.
+When using self-signed certificates without a certificate authority,
+this setting should be set to false.
+The default value is true.
+.El
+.Ss iolog
+The
+.Em iolog
+section configures I/O log parameters.
+These settings are identical to the I/O configuration in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ .
+The following keys are recognized:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It iolog_compress = boolean
+If set, I/O logs will be compressed using
+.Sy zlib .
+Enabling compression can make it harder to view the logs in real-time as
+the program is executing due to buffering.
+The default value is
+.Li false .
+.It iolog_dir = path
+The top-level directory to use when constructing the path
+name for the I/O log directory.
+The session sequence number, if any, is stored in the directory.
+The default value is
+.Pa @iolog_dir@ .
+.Pp
+The following percent
+.Pq Ql %
+escape sequences are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Li %{seq}
+expanded to a monotonically increasing base-36 sequence number, such as 0100A5,
+where every two digits are used to form a new directory, e.g.,
+.Pa 01/00/A5
+.It Li %{user}
+expanded to the invoking user's login name
+.It Li %{group}
+expanded to the name of the invoking user's real group-ID
+.It Li %{runas_user}
+expanded to the login name of the user the command will
+be run as (e.g., root)
+.It Li %{runas_group}
+expanded to the group name of the user the command will
+be run as (e.g., wheel)
+.It Li %{hostname}
+expanded to the local host name without the domain name
+.It Li %{command}
+expanded to the base name of the command being run
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition, any escape sequences supported by the system's
+.Xr strftime 3
+function will be expanded.
+.Pp
+To include a literal
+.Ql %
+character, the string
+.Ql %%
+should be used.
+.It iolog_file = path
+The path name, relative to
+.Em iolog_dir ,
+in which to store I/O logs.
+Note that
+.Em iolog_file
+may contain directory components.
+The default value is
+.Li %{seq} .
+.Pp
+See the
+.Em iolog_dir
+setting above for a list of supported percent
+.Pq Ql %
+escape sequences.
+.Pp
+In addition to the escape sequences, path names that end in six or
+more
+.Li X Ns s
+will have the
+.Li X Ns s
+replaced with a unique combination of digits and letters, similar to the
+.Xr mktemp 3
+function.
+.Pp
+If the path created by concatenating
+.Em iolog_dir
+and
+.Em iolog_file
+already exists, the existing I/O log file will be truncated and
+overwritten unless
+.Em iolog_file
+ends in six or
+more
+.Li X Ns s .
+.It iolog_flush = boolean
+If set, I/O log data is flushed to disk after each write instead of
+buffering it.
+This makes it possible to view the logs in real-time as the program is
+executing but may significantly reduce the effectiveness
+of I/O log compression.
+The default value is
+.Li true .
+.It iolog_group = name
+The group name to look up when setting the group-ID on new I/O log
+files and directories.
+If
+.Em iolog_group
+is not set,
+the primary group-ID of the user specified by
+.Em iolog_user is used.
+If neither
+.Em iolog_group
+nor
+.Em iolog_user
+are set, I/O log files and directories are created with group-ID 0.
+.It iolog_mode = mode
+The file mode to use when creating I/O log files.
+Mode bits for read and write permissions for owner, group or other
+are honored, everything else is ignored.
+The file permissions will always include the owner read and
+write bits, even if they are not present in the specified mode.
+When creating I/O log directories, search (execute) bits are added
+to match the read and write bits specified by
+.Em iolog_mode .
+The default value is
+.Li 0600 .
+.It iolog_user = name
+The user name to look up when setting the owner of new
+I/O log files and directories.
+If
+.Em iolog_group
+is set, it will be used instead of the user's primary group-ID.
+By default, I/O log files and directories are created with user and
+group-ID 0.
+.It maxseq = number
+The maximum sequence number that will be substituted for the
+.Dq Li %{seq}
+escape in the I/O log file (see the
+.Em iolog_dir
+description above for more information).
+While the value substituted for
+.Dq Li %{seq}
+is in base 36,
+.Em maxseq
+itself should be expressed in decimal.
+Values larger than 2176782336 (which corresponds to the
+base 36 sequence number
+.Dq ZZZZZZ )
+will be silently truncated to 2176782336.
+The default value is 2176782336.
+.El
+.Ss eventlog
+The
+.Em eventlog
+section configures how (and if) security policy events are logged.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It log_type = string
+Where to log accept, reject and alert events reported by the policy.
+Supported values are
+.Em syslog ,
+.Em logfile ,
+and
+.Em none .
+The default value is
+.Em syslog .
+.It log_format = string
+The event log format.
+Supported log formats are
+.Dq sudo
+for traditional sudo-style logs and
+.Dq json
+for JSON-format logs.
+The JSON log entries contain the full contents of the accept, reject
+and alert messages.
+The default value is
+.Em sudo .
+.El
+.Ss syslog
+The
+.Em syslog
+section configures how events are logged via
+.Xr syslog 3 .
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It facility = string
+Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging.
+Defaults to
+.Li @logfac@ .
+.Pp
+The following syslog facilities are supported:
+.Sy authpriv
+(if your
+OS supports it),
+.Sy auth ,
+.Sy daemon ,
+.Sy user ,
+.Sy local0 ,
+.Sy local1 ,
+.Sy local2 ,
+.Sy local3 ,
+.Sy local4 ,
+.Sy local5 ,
+.Sy local6 ,
+and
+.Sy local7 .
+.It accept_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use when the user is allowed to run a command and
+authentication is successful.
+Defaults to
+.Li @goodpri@ .
+.Pp
+The following syslog priorities are supported:
+.Sy alert ,
+.Sy crit ,
+.Sy debug ,
+.Sy emerg ,
+.Sy err ,
+.Sy info ,
+.Sy notice ,
+.Sy warning ,
+and
+.Sy none .
+Setting it to a value of
+.Sy none
+will disable logging of successful commands.
+.It reject_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use when the user is not allowed to run a command or
+when authentication is unsuccessful.
+Defaults to
+.Li @badpri@ .
+.Pp
+See
+.Em accept_priority
+for the list of supported syslog priorities.
+.It alert_priority = string
+Syslog priority to use for event log alert messages received from the client.
+Defaults to
+.Li @badpri@ .
+.Pp
+See
+.Em accept_priority
+for the list of supported syslog priorities.
+.It maxlen = number
+On many systems,
+.Xr syslog 3
+has a relatively small log buffer.
+IETF RFC 5424 states that syslog servers must support messages of
+at least 480 bytes and should support messages up to 2048 bytes.
+By default,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+creates log messages up to 960 bytes which corresponds to the
+historic
+.Bx
+syslog implementation which used a 1024 byte buffer
+to store the message, date, hostname and program name.
+.Pp
+To prevent syslog messages from being truncated,
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+will split up sudo-style log messages that are larger than
+.Em maxlen
+bytes.
+When a message is split, additional parts will include the string
+.Dq Pq command continued
+after the user name and before the continued command line arguments.
+JSON-format log entries are never split and are not affected by
+.Em maxlen .
+.El
+.Ss logfile
+The
+.Em logfile
+section consists of settings related to logging to a plain file
+(not syslog).
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It path = string
+The path to the file-based event log.
+This path must be fully-qualified and start with a
+.Sq /
+character.
+The default value is
+.Pa @logpath@ .
+.It time_format = string
+The string used when formatting the date and time for file-based event logs.
+Formatting is performed via the system's
+.Xr strftime 3
+function so any escape sequences supported by that function will be expanded.
+The default value is
+.Dq Li "%h %e %T"
+which produces dates like
+.Dq Oct 3 07:15:24
+in the C locale.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+is a high-performance log server that accepts event and I/O logs from
+\fBsudo\fR.
+It can be used to implement centralized logging of
+\fBsudo\fR
+logs.
+Event log entries may be logged either via
+syslog(3)
+or to a file.
+I/O Logs created by
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+can be replayed via the
+sudoreplay(@mansectsu@)
+utility in the same way as logs generated directly by the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin.
+.PP
+The server also supports restarting interrupted log transfers.
+To distinguish completed I/O logs from incomplete ones, the
+I/O log timing file is set to be read-only when the log is complete.
+.PP
+Configuration parameters for
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+may be specified in the
+sudo_logsrvd.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+.PP
+The options are as follows:
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\--file\fR
+Read configuration from
+\fIfile\fR
+instead of the default,
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudo_logsrvd.conf\fR.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\--help\fR
+Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\--no-fork\fR
+Run
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+in the foreground instead of detaching from the terminal and becoming
+a daemon.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\--random-drop\fR
+For each message, there is a
+\fIpercentage\fR
+chance that the server will drop the connection.
+This is only intended for debugging the ability of a
+client to restart a connection.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\--version\fR
+Print the
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+version and exit.
+.SS "Securing server connections"
+The I/O log data sent to
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+may contain sensitive information such as passwords and should be
+secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
+Doing so requires having a signed certificate on the server and, if
+\fItls_checkpeer\fR
+is enabled in
+sudo_logsrvd.conf(@mansectform@),
+a signed certificate on the client as well.
+.PP
+The certificates can either be signed by a well-known Certificate
+Authority (CA), or a private CA can be used.
+Instructions for creating a private CA are included below in the
+\fIEXAMPLES\fR
+section.
+.SS "Debugging sudo_logsrvd"
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+supports a flexible debugging framework that is configured via
+\fRDebug\fR
+lines in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.

+.SS "Creating self-signed certificates"
+Unless you are using certificates signed by a well-known Certificate
+Authority (or a local enterprise CA), you will need to create your
+own CA that can sign the certificates used by
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR,
+\fBsudo_sendlog\fR,
+and the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin.
+The following steps use the
+openssl(1)
+command to create keys and certificates.
+.SS "Initial setup"
+First, we need to create a directory structure to store the
+files for the CA.
+We'll create a new directory hierarchy in
+\fI/etc/ssl/sudo\fR
+for this purpose.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# mkdir /etc/ssl/sudo
+# cd /etc/ssl/sudo
+# mkdir certs csr newcerts private
+# chmod 700 private
+# touch index.txt
+# echo 1000 > serial
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The serial and index.txt files are used to keep track of signed certificates.
+.PP
+Next, we need to make a copy of the openssl.conf file and customize
+it for our new CA.
+The path to openssl.cnf is system-dependent but
+\fI/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf\fR
+is the most common location.
+You will need to adjust the example below if it has a different location on
+your system.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# cp /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf .
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Now edit the
+\fIopenssl.cnf\fR
+file in the current directory and make sure it contains
+\(lqca\(rq
+and
+\(lqCA_default\(rq
+sections.
+Those sections should include the following settings:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+[ ca ]
+default_ca = CA_default
+
+[ CA_default ]
+dir = /etc/ssl/sudo
+certs = $dir/certs
+database = $dir/index.txt
+certificate = $dir/cacert.pem
+serial = $dir/serial
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+If your
+\fIopenssl.conf\fR
+file already has a
+\(lqCA_default\(rq
+section, you may only need to modify the
+\(lqdir\(rq
+setting.
+.SS "Creating the CA key and certificate"
+In order to create and sign our own certificates, we need to create
+a private key and a certificate for the root of the CA.
+First, create the private key and protect it with a pass phrase:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private/cakey.pem 4096
+# chmod 400 private/cakey.pem
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Next, generate the root certificate, using appropriate values for
+the site-specific fields:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/cakey.pem \e
+ -new -x509 -days 7300 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca \e
+ -out cacert.pem
+
+Enter pass phrase for private/cakey.pem:
+You are about to be asked to enter information that will be
+incorporated into your certificate request.
+What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name
+or a DN.
+There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank.
+For some fields there will be a default value,
+If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
+-----
+Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
+State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Colorado
+Locality Name (eg, city) []:
+Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:sudo
+Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:sudo Certificate Authority
+Common Name (e.g., server FQDN or YOUR name) []:sudo Root CA
+Email Address []:
+
+# chmod 444 cacert.pem
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Finally, verify the root certificate:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl x509 -noout -text -in cacert.pem
+.RE
+.fi
+.SS "Creating and signing certificates"
+The server and client certificates will be signed by the previously
+created root CA.
+Usually, the root CA is not used to sign server/client certificates
+directly.
+Instead, intermediate certificates are created and signed with the
+root CA and the intermediate certs are used to sign CSRs (Certificate
+Signing Request).
+In this example we'll skip this part for simplicity's sake and sign the
+CSRs with the root CA.
+.PP
+First, generate the private key without a pass phrase.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl genrsa -out private/logsrvd_key.pem 2048
+# chmod 400 private/logsrvd_key.pem
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Next, create a certificate signing request (CSR) for the server's certificate.
+The organization name must match the name given in the root certificate.
+The common name should be either the server's IP address or a fully
+qualified domain name.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/logsrvd_key.pem -new \e
+ -sha256 -out csr/logsrvd_csr.pem
+
+Enter pass phrase for private/logsrvd_key.pem:
+You are about to be asked to enter information that will be
+incorporated into your certificate request.
+What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name
+or a DN.
+There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank.
+For some fields there will be a default value,
+If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

+Email Address []:
+
+Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
+to be sent with your certificate request
+A challenge password []:
+An optional company name []:
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Now sign the CSR that was just created:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+# openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -days 375 -notext -md sha256 \e
+ -in csr/logsrvd_csr.pem -out certs/logsrvd_cert.pem

+.SS "Configuring sudo_logsrvd to use TLS"
+To use TLS for client/server communication, both
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR

+Configuring
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR

+
+# Path to the certificate authority bundle file in PEM format.

+tls_key = /etc/ssl/sudo/private/logsrvd_key.pem
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The root CA cert

+.Ss Creating and signing certificates
+The server and client certificates will be signed by the previously
+created root CA.
+Usually, the root CA is not used to sign server/client certificates
+directly.
+Instead, intermediate certificates are created and signed with the
+root CA and the intermediate certs are used to sign CSRs (Certificate
+Signing Request).
+In this example we'll skip this part for simplicity's sake and sign the
+CSRs with the root CA.
+.Pp
+First, generate the private key without a pass phrase.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# openssl genrsa -out private/logsrvd_key.pem 2048
+# chmod 400 private/logsrvd_key.pem
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Next, create a certificate signing request (CSR) for the server's certificate.
+The organization name must match the name given in the root certificate.
+The common name should be either the server's IP address or a fully
+qualified domain name.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/logsrvd_key.pem -new \e
+ -sha256 -out csr/logsrvd_csr.pem
+
+Enter pass phrase for private/logsrvd_key.pem:
+You are about to be asked to enter information that will be
+incorporated into your certificate request.
+What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name
+or a DN.
+There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank.
+For some fields there will be a default value,
+If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

+\fBsudo_plugin\fR
+\- Sudo Plugin API
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+Starting with version 1.8,
+\fBsudo\fR
+supports a plugin API
+for policy and session logging.
+Plugins may be compiled as dynamic shared objects (the default on
+systems that support them) or compiled statically into the
+\fBsudo\fR
+binary itself.
+By default, the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+policy plugin and an associated I/O logging plugin are used.
+Via the plugin API,
+\fBsudo\fR
+can be configured to use alternate policy and/or I/O logging plugins
+provided by third parties.
+The plugins to be used are specified in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+.PP
+The API is versioned with a major and minor number.
+The minor version number is incremented when additions are made.
+The major number is incremented when incompatible changes are made.
+A plugin should be check the version passed to it and make sure that the
+major version matches.
+.PP
+The plugin API is defined by the
+\fRsudo_plugin.h\fR
+header file.
+.SS "Policy plugin API"
+A policy plugin must declare and populate a
+\fRpolicy_plugin\fR
+struct in the global scope.
+This structure contains pointers to the functions that implement the
+\fBsudo\fR
+policy checks.
+The name of the symbol should be specified in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+along with a path to the plugin so that
+\fBsudo\fR
+can load it.

+.TP 6n
+version
+The
+\fRversion\fR
+field should be set to
+\fRSUDO_API_VERSION\fR.
+.sp
+This allows
+\fBsudo\fR
+to determine the API version the plugin was
+built against.

+Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure, \-1 if a general error occurred,
+or \-2 if there was a usage error.
+In the latter case,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will print a usage message before it exits.
+If an error occurs, the plugin may optionally call the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+or
+\fBplugin_printf\fR()
+function with
+\fRSUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG\fR
+to present additional error information to the user.
+.sp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.TP 6n
+version
+The version passed in by
+\fBsudo\fR
+allows the plugin to determine the
+major and minor version number of the plugin API supported by
+\fBsudo\fR.
+.TP 6n
+conversation
+A pointer to the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function that can be used by the plugin to interact with the user (see
+\fIConversation API\fR
+for details).
+Returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
+.TP 6n
+plugin_printf
+A pointer to a
+\fBprintf\fR()-style
+function that may be used to display informational or error messages (see
+\fIConversation API\fR
+for details).
+Returns the number of characters printed on success and \-1 on failure.
+.TP 6n
+settings
+A vector of user-supplied
+\fBsudo\fR
+settings in the form of
+\(lqname=value\(rq
+strings.
+The vector is terminated by a
+\fRNULL\fR
+pointer.
+These settings correspond to options the user specified when running
+\fBsudo\fR.
+As such, they will only be present when the corresponding option has
+been specified on the command line.
+.sp
+When parsing
+\fIsettings\fR,
+the plugin should split on the
+\fBfirst\fR
+equal sign
+(\(oq=\(cq)
+since the
+\fIname\fR
+field will never include one
+itself but the
+\fIvalue\fR
+might.
+.sp
+The following values may be set by
+\fBsudo\fR:
+.PP
+.RS 6n
+.PD 0
+.TP 6n
+bsdauth_type=string
+Authentication type, if specified by the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option, to use on
+systems where
+BSD
+authentication is supported.
+.PD
+.TP 6n
+closefrom=number
+If specified, the user has requested via the
+\fB\-C\fR
+option that
+\fBsudo\fR
+close all files descriptors with a value of
+\fInumber\fR
+or higher.
+The plugin may optionally pass this, or another value, back in the
+\fIcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+cmnd_chroot=string
+The root directory (see
+chroot(2))
+to run the command in, as specified by the user via the
+\fB\-R\fR
+option.
+The plugin may ignore or restrict the user's ability to specify a new
+root directory.
+Only available starting with API version 1.16.
+.TP 6n
+cmnd_cwd=string
+The working directory to run the command in, as specified by the user via the
+\fB\-D\fR
+option.
+The plugin may ignore or restrict the user's ability to specify a new
+working directory.
+Only available starting with API version 1.16.
+.TP 6n
+debug_flags=string
+A debug file path name followed by a space and a comma-separated
+list of debug flags that correspond to the plugin's
+\fRDebug\fR
+entry in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@),
+if there is one.
+The flags are passed to the plugin exactly as they appear in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
+The syntax used by
+\fBsudo\fR
+and the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin is
+\fIsubsystem\fR@\fIpriority\fR
+but a plugin is free to use a different
+format so long as it does not include a comma
+(\(oq,\&\(cq).
+Prior to
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.12, there was no way to specify plugin-specific
+\fIdebug_flags\fR
+so the value was always the same as that used by the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end and did not include a path name, only the flags themselves.
+As of version 1.7 of the plugin interface,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will only pass
+\fIdebug_flags\fR
+if
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+contains a plugin-specific
+\fRDebug\fR
+entry.
+.TP 6n
+ignore_ticket=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-k\fR
+option along with a
+command, indicating that the user wishes to ignore any cached
+authentication credentials.
+\fIimplied_shell\fR
+to true.
+This allows
+\fBsudo\fR
+with no arguments
+to be used similarly to
+su(1).
+If the plugin does not to support this usage, it may return a value of \-2
+from the
+\fBcheck_policy\fR()
+function, which will cause
+\fBsudo\fR
+to print a usage message and
+exit.
+.TP 6n
+implied_shell=bool
+If the user does not specify a program on the command line,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will pass the plugin the path to the user's shell and set
+.TP 6n
+login_class=string
+BSD
+login class to use when setting resource limits and nice value,
+if specified by the
+\fB\-c\fR
+option.
+.TP 6n
+login_shell=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-i\fR
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to run a login shell.
+.TP 6n
+max_groups=int
+The maximum number of groups a user may belong to.
+This will only be present if there is a corresponding setting in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
+.TP 6n
+network_addrs=list
+A space-separated list of IP network addresses and netmasks in the
+form
+\(lqaddr/netmask\(rq,
+e.g.,
+\(lq192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0\(rq.
+The address and netmask pairs may be either IPv4 or IPv6, depending on
+what the operating system supports.
+If the address contains a colon
+(\(oq:\&\(cq),
+it is an IPv6 address, else it is IPv4.
+.TP 6n
+noninteractive=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-n\fR
+option, indicating that
+\fBsudo\fR
+should operate in non-interactive mode.
+The plugin may reject a command run in non-interactive mode if user
+interaction is required.
+.TP 6n
+plugin_dir=string
+The default plugin directory used by the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end.
+This is the default directory set at compile time and may not
+correspond to the directory the running plugin was loaded from.
+It may be used by a plugin to locate support files.
+.TP 6n
+plugin_path=string
+The path name of plugin loaded by the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end.
+The path name will be a fully-qualified unless the plugin was
+statically compiled into
+\fBsudo\fR.
+.TP 6n
+preserve_environment=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-E\fR
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to preserve the environment.
+.TP 6n
+preserve_groups=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-P\fR
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to preserve the group vector instead of setting it
+based on the runas user.

+\fB\-p\fR
+option.
+.TP 6n
+remote_host=string
+The name of the remote host to run the command on, if specified via
+the
+\fB\-h\fR
+option.
+Support for running the command on a remote host is meant to be implemented
+via a helper program that is executed in place of the user-specified command.
+The
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end is only capable of executing commands on the local host.
+Only available starting with API version 1.4.
+.TP 6n
+run_shell=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-s\fR
+option, indicating that the user wishes to run a shell.

+SELinux role to use when executing the command, if specified by
+the
+\fB\-r\fR
+option.
+.TP 6n
+selinux_type=string
+SELinux type to use when executing the command, if specified by
+the
+\fB\-t\fR
+option.
+.TP 6n
+set_home=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+\fB\-H\fR
+option.
+If true, set the
+\fRHOME\fR
+environment variable to the target user's home directory.
+.TP 6n
+sudoedit=bool
+Set to true when the
+\fB\-e\fR
+option is specified or if invoked as
+\fBsudoedit\fR.
+The plugin shall substitute an editor into
+\fIargv\fR
+in the
+\fBcheck_policy\fR()
+function or return \-2 with a usage error
+if the plugin does not support
+\fIsudoedit\fR.
+For more information, see the
+\fIcheck_policy\fR
+section.
+.TP 6n
+timeout=string
+Command timeout specified by the user via the
+\fB\-T\fR
+option.
+Not all plugins support command timeouts and the ability of the
+user to set a timeout may be restricted by policy.
+The format of the timeout string is plugin-specific.
+.PP
+Additional settings may be added in the future so the plugin should
+silently ignore settings that it does not recognize.
+.RE
+.TP 6n
+user_info
+A vector of information about the user running the command in the form of

+\fIsudoedit\fR

+\fBsudo\fR
+achieves this by creating user-writable

+itself is running in the foreground.
+When
+\fIexec_background\fR
+is enabled and the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal
+(due to I/O logging or the
+\fIuse_pty\fR
+setting), the command will be run as a background process.
+Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal
+settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
+\fRSIGTTIN\fR
+signal (or
+\fRSIGTTOU\fR
+in the case of terminal settings).
+If this happens when
+\fBsudo\fR
+is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
+and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
+The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
+\fBsudo\fR
+need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
+Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
+has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
+to tell whether the command really wants the input).
+This is different from historic
+\fIsudo\fR
+behavior or when the command is not being run in a pseudo-terminal.
+.sp
+For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
+automatic restarting of system calls.
+Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
+and even those that do may have bugs.
+For example, macOS fails to restart the
+\fBtcgetattr\fR()
+and
+\fBtcsetattr\fR()
+system calls (this is a bug in macOS).
+Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
+\fRSIGTTIN\fR
+or
+\fRSIGTTOU\fR
+signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
+with a different signal (usually
+\fRSIGTOP\fR)
+will not be automatically foregrounded.
+Some versions of the linux
+su(1)
+command behave this way.
+Because of this, a plugin should not set
+\fIexec_background\fR
+unless it is explicitly enabled by the administrator and there should
+be a way to enabled or disable it on a per-command basis.
+.sp
+This setting has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or
+\fIuse_pty\fR

+The helper program would be responsible for running
+\fBssh\fR
+with the proper options to use a private key or certificate
+that the remote host will accept and run a program
+on the remote host that would setup the execution environment
+accordingly.
+.PP
+Note that remote
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+functionality must be handled by the policy plugin, not
+\fBsudo\fR
+itself as the front end has no knowledge that a remote command is
+being executed.
+This may be addressed in a future revision of the plugin API.
+.SS "Conversation API"
+If the plugin needs to interact with the user, it may do so via the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function.
+A plugin should not attempt to read directly from the standard input
+or the user's tty (neither of which are guaranteed to exist).
+The caller must include a trailing newline in
+\fRmsg\fR
+if one is to be printed.
+.PP
+A
+\fBprintf\fR()-style
+function is also available that can be used to display informational
+or error messages to the user, which is usually more convenient for
+simple messages where no use input is required.
+.PP
+\fIConversation function structures\fR
+.PP
+The conversation function takes as arguments pointers to the following
+structures:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 0n
+struct sudo_conv_message {
+#define SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF 0x0001 /* do not echo user input */
+#define SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_ON 0x0002 /* echo user input */
+#define SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG 0x0003 /* error message */
+#define SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG 0x0004 /* informational message */
+#define SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_MASK 0x0005 /* mask user input */
+#define SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OK 0x1000 /* flag: allow echo if no tty */
+#define SUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY 0x2000 /* flag: use tty if possible */
+ int msg_type;
+ int timeout;
+ const char *msg;
+};
+
+#define SUDO_CONV_REPL_MAX 1023
+
+struct sudo_conv_reply {
+ char *reply;
+};
+
+typedef int (*sudo_conv_callback_fn_t)(int signo, void *closure);
+struct sudo_conv_callback {
+ unsigned int version;
+ void *closure;
+ sudo_conv_callback_fn_t on_suspend;
+ sudo_conv_callback_fn_t on_resume;
+};
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Pointers to the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+and
+\fBprintf\fR()-style
+functions are passed
+in to the plugin's
+\fBopen\fR()
+function when the plugin is initialized.
+The following type definitions can be used in the declaration of the
+\fBopen\fR()
+function:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 0n
+typedef int (*sudo_conv_t)(int num_msgs,
+ const struct sudo_conv_message msgs[],
+ struct sudo_conv_reply replies[], struct sudo_conv_callback *callback);
+
+typedef int (*sudo_printf_t)(int msg_type, const char *fmt, ...);
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+To use the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function, the plugin must pass an array of
+\fRsudo_conv_message\fR
+and
+\fRsudo_conv_reply\fR
+structures.
+There must be a
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_message\fR
+and
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_reply\fR
+for
+each message in the conversation, that is, both arrays must have the same
+number of elements.
+Each
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_reply\fR
+must have its
+\fIreply\fR
+member initialized to
+\fRNULL\fR.
+The
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_callback\fR
+pointer, if not
+\fRNULL\fR,
+should contain function pointers to be called when the
+\fBsudo\fR
+process is suspended and/or resumed during conversation input.
+The
+\fIon_suspend\fR
+and
+\fIon_resume\fR
+functions are called with the signal that caused
+\fBsudo\fR
+to be suspended and the
+\fIclosure\fR
+pointer from the
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_callback\fR.
+These functions should return 0 on success and \-1 on error.
+On error, the conversation will end and the conversation function
+will return a value of \-1.
+The intended use is to allow the plugin to release resources, such as locks,
+that should not be held indefinitely while suspended and then reacquire them
+when the process is resumed.
+Note that the functions are not actually invoked from within a signal handler.
+.PP
+The
+\fImsg_type\fR
+must be set to one of the following values:
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF
+Prompt the user for input with echo disabled;
+this is generally used for passwords.
+The reply will be stored in the
+\fIreplies\fR
+array, and it will never be
+\fRNULL\fR.
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_ON
+Prompt the user for input with echo enabled.
+The reply will be stored in the
+\fIreplies\fR
+array, and it will never be
+\fRNULL\fR.
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG
+Display an error message.
+The message is written to the standard error unless the
+\fRSUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY\fR
+flag is set, in which case it is written to the user's terminal if possible.
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG
+Display a message.
+The message is written to the standard output unless the
+\fRSUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY\fR
+flag is set, in which case it is written to the user's terminal if possible.
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_MASK
+Prompt the user for input but echo an asterisk character for each
+character read.
+The reply will be stored in the
+\fIreplies\fR
+array, and it will never be
+\fRNULL\fR.
+This can be used to provide visual feedback to the user while reading
+sensitive information that should not be displayed.
+.PP
+In addition to the above values, the following flag bits may also be set:
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OK
+Allow input to be read when echo cannot be disabled
+when the message type is
+\fRSUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF\fR
+or
+\fRSUDO_CONV_PROMPT_MASK\fR.
+By default,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will refuse to read input if the echo cannot be disabled for those
+message types.
+.TP 6n
+SUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY
+When displaying a message via
+\fRSUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG\fR
+or
+\fRSUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG\fR,
+try to write the message to the user's terminal.
+If the terminal is unavailable, the standard error or standard output
+will be used, depending upon whether
+The user's terminal is always used when possible for input,
+this flag is only used for output.
+\fRSUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG\fR
+or
+\fRSUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG\fR
+was used.
+.PP
+The
+\fItimeout\fR
+in seconds until the prompt will wait for no more input.
+A zero value implies an infinite timeout.
+.PP
+The plugin is responsible for freeing the reply buffer located in each
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_reply\fR,
+if it is not
+\fRNULL\fR.
+\fRSUDO_CONV_REPL_MAX\fR
+represents the maximum length of the reply buffer (not including
+the trailing NUL character).
+In practical terms, this is the longest password
+\fBsudo\fR
+will support.
+.PP
+The
+\fBprintf\fR()-style
+function uses the same underlying mechanism as the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function but only supports
+\fRSUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG\fR
+and
+\fRSUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG\fR
+for the
+\fImsg_type\fR
+parameter.
+It can be more convenient than using the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function if no user reply is needed and supports standard
+\fBprintf\fR()
+escape sequences.
+.PP
+See the sample plugin for an example of the
+\fBconversation\fR()
+function usage.
+.SS "Plugin invocation order"
+As of
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.9.0, the plugin
+\fBopen\fR()
+and
+\fBclose\fR()
+functions are called in the
+following order:
+.TP 5n

+.SS "Sudoers group plugin API"
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR

+.SH "PLUGIN API CHANGELOG"
+The following revisions have been made to the Sudo Plugin API.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.0
+Initial API version.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.1 (sudo 1.8.0)
+The I/O logging plugin's
+\fBopen\fR()
+function was modified to take the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list as an argument.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.2 (sudo 1.8.5)
+The Policy and I/O logging plugins'
+\fBopen\fR()
+functions are now passed
+a list of plugin parameters if any are specified in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
+.sp
+A simple hooks API has been introduced to allow plugins to hook in to the
+system's environment handling functions.
+.sp
+The
+\fRinit_session\fR
+Policy plugin function is now passed a pointer
+to the user environment which can be updated as needed.
+This can be used to merge in environment variables stored in the PAM
+handle before a command is run.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.3 (sudo 1.8.7)
+Support for the
+\fIexec_background\fR
+entry has been added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.sp
+The
+\fImax_groups\fR
+and
+\fIplugin_dir\fR
+entries were added to the
+\fRsettings\fR
+list.
+.sp
+The
+\fBversion\fR()
+and
+\fBclose\fR()
+functions are now optional.
+Previously, a missing
+\fBversion\fR()
+or
+\fBclose\fR()
+function would result in a crash.
+If no policy plugin
+\fBclose\fR()
+function is defined, a default
+\fBclose\fR()
+function will be provided by the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end that displays a warning if the command could not be
+executed.
+.sp
+The
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end now installs default signal handlers to trap common signals
+while the plugin functions are run.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.4 (sudo 1.8.8)
+The
+\fIremote_host\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRsettings\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.5 (sudo 1.8.9)
+The
+\fIpreserve_fds\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.6 (sudo 1.8.11)
+The behavior when an I/O logging plugin returns an error
+(\-1)
+has changed.
+Previously, the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front end took no action when the
+\fBlog_ttyin\fR(),
+\fBlog_ttyout\fR(),
+\fBlog_stdin\fR(),
+\fBlog_stdout\fR(),
+or
+\fBlog_stderr\fR()
+function returned an error.
+.sp
+The behavior when an I/O logging plugin returns 0 has changed.
+Previously, output from the command would be displayed to the
+terminal even if an output logging function returned 0.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.7 (sudo 1.8.12)
+The
+\fIplugin_path\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRsettings\fR
+list.
+.sp
+The
+\fIdebug_flags\fR
+entry now starts with a debug file path name and may occur multiple
+times if there are multiple plugin-specific Debug lines in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@) file.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.8 (sudo 1.8.15)
+The
+\fIsudoedit_checkdir\fR
+and
+\fIsudoedit_follow\fR
+entries were added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+The default value of
+\fIsudoedit_checkdir\fR
+was changed to true in sudo 1.8.16.
+.sp
+The sudo
+\fIconversation\fR
+function now takes a pointer to a
+\fRstruct sudo_conv_callback\fR
+as its fourth argument.
+The
+\fRsudo_conv_t\fR
+definition has been updated to match.
+The plugin must specify that it supports plugin API version 1.8 or higher
+to receive a conversation function pointer that supports this argument.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.9 (sudo 1.8.16)
+The
+\fIexecfd\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.10 (sudo 1.8.19)
+The
+\fIumask\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRuser_info\fR
+list.
+The
+\fIiolog_group\fR,
+\fIiolog_mode\fR,
+and
+\fIiolog_user\fR
+entries were added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.11 (sudo 1.8.20)
+The
+\fItimeout\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRsettings\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.12 (sudo 1.8.21)
+The
+\fRchange_winsize\fR
+field was added to the io_plugin struct.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.13 (sudo 1.8.26)
+The
+\fRlog_suspend\fR
+field was added to the io_plugin struct.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.14 (sudo 1.8.29)
+The
+\fIumask_override\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.TP 6n
+Version 1.15 (sudo 1.9.0)
+The
+\fIcwd_optional\fR
+entry was added to the
+\fRcommand_info\fR
+list.
+.sp
+The
+\fIevent_alloc\fR
+field was added to the policy_plugin and io_plugin structs.
+.sp
+The
+\fIerrstr\fR
+argument was added to the policy and I/O plugin functions
+which the plugin function can use to return an error string.
+This string may be used by the audit plugin to report failure or
+error conditions set by the other plugins.
+.sp
+The
+\fBclose\fR()
+function is now is called regardless of whether or not a command
+was actually executed.
+This makes it possible for plugins to perform cleanup even when a
+command was not run.
+.sp
+\fRSUDO_CONV_REPL_MAX\fR
+has increased from 255 to 1023 bytes.
+.sp
+Support for audit and approval plugins was added.

+.Os Sudo @PACKAGE_VERSION@
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudo_plugin
+.Nd Sudo Plugin API
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Starting with version 1.8,
+.Nm sudo
+supports a plugin API
+for policy and session logging.
+Plugins may be compiled as dynamic shared objects (the default on
+systems that support them) or compiled statically into the
+.Nm sudo
+binary itself.
+By default, the
+.Nm sudoers
+policy plugin and an associated I/O logging plugin are used.
+Via the plugin API,
+.Nm sudo
+can be configured to use alternate policy and/or I/O logging plugins
+provided by third parties.
+The plugins to be used are specified in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file.
+.Pp
+The API is versioned with a major and minor number.
+The minor version number is incremented when additions are made.
+The major number is incremented when incompatible changes are made.
+A plugin should be check the version passed to it and make sure that the
+major version matches.
+.Pp
+The plugin API is defined by the
+.Li sudo_plugin.h
+header file.
+.Ss Policy plugin API
+A policy plugin must declare and populate a
+.Li policy_plugin
+struct in the global scope.
+This structure contains pointers to the functions that implement the
+.Nm sudo
+policy checks.
+The name of the symbol should be specified in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+along with a path to the plugin so that
+.Nm sudo
+can load it.
+.Bd -literal

+.It type
+The
+.Li type
+field should always be set to SUDO_POLICY_PLUGIN.
+.It version
+The

+.Ed
+.Pp
+Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure, \-1 if a general error occurred,
+or \-2 if there was a usage error.
+In the latter case,
+.Nm sudo
+will print a usage message before it exits.
+If an error occurs, the plugin may optionally call the
+.Fn conversation
+or
+.Fn plugin_printf
+function with
+.Dv SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG
+to present additional error information to the user.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It version
+The version passed in by
+.Nm sudo
+allows the plugin to determine the
+major and minor version number of the plugin API supported by
+.Nm sudo .
+.It conversation
+A pointer to the

+for details).
+Returns the number of characters printed on success and \-1 on failure.
+.It settings
+A vector of user-supplied
+.Nm sudo
+settings in the form of
+.Dq name=value
+strings.
+The vector is terminated by a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+These settings correspond to options the user specified when running
+.Nm sudo .
+As such, they will only be present when the corresponding option has
+been specified on the command line.
+.Pp
+When parsing
+.Em settings ,
+the plugin should split on the
+.Sy first
+equal sign
+.Pq Ql =
+since the
+.Em name
+field will never include one
+itself but the
+.Em value
+might.
+.Pp
+The following values may be set by
+.Nm sudo :
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It bsdauth_type=string
+Authentication type, if specified by the
+.Fl a
+option, to use on
+systems where
+.Bx
+authentication is supported.
+.It closefrom=number
+If specified, the user has requested via the
+.Fl C
+option that
+.Nm sudo
+close all files descriptors with a value of
+.Em number
+or higher.
+The plugin may optionally pass this, or another value, back in the
+.Em command_info
+list.
+.It cmnd_chroot=string
+The root directory (see
+.Xr chroot 2 )
+to run the command in, as specified by the user via the

+The plugin may ignore or restrict the user's ability to specify a new
+root directory.
+Only available starting with API version 1.16.
+.It cmnd_cwd=string
+The working directory to run the command in, as specified by the user via the
+.Fl D
+option.
+The plugin may ignore or restrict the user's ability to specify a new
+working directory.
+Only available starting with API version 1.16.
+.It debug_flags=string
+A debug file path name followed by a space and a comma-separated
+list of debug flags that correspond to the plugin's
+.Li Debug
+entry in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ ,
+if there is one.
+The flags are passed to the plugin exactly as they appear in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+The syntax used by
+.Nm sudo
+and the
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin is
+.Em subsystem Ns @ Ns Em priority
+but a plugin is free to use a different
+format so long as it does not include a comma
+.Pq Ql ,\& .
+Prior to
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.12, there was no way to specify plugin-specific
+.Em debug_flags
+so the value was always the same as that used by the
+.Nm sudo
+front end and did not include a path name, only the flags themselves.
+As of version 1.7 of the plugin interface,
+.Nm sudo
+will only pass
+.Em debug_flags
+if
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+contains a plugin-specific
+.Li Debug
+entry.
+.It ignore_ticket=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+.Fl k
+option along with a
+command, indicating that the user wishes to ignore any cached
+authentication credentials.
+.Em implied_shell
+to true.
+This allows
+.Nm sudo
+with no arguments
+to be used similarly to
+.Xr su 1 .
+If the plugin does not to support this usage, it may return a value of \-2
+from the
+.Fn check_policy
+function, which will cause
+.Nm sudo
+to print a usage message and
+exit.
+.It implied_shell=bool
+If the user does not specify a program on the command line,
+.Nm sudo
+will pass the plugin the path to the user's shell and set
+.It login_class=string
+.Bx
+login class to use when setting resource limits and nice value,
+if specified by the
+.Fl c
+option.
+.It login_shell=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+.Fl i
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to run a login shell.
+.It max_groups=int
+The maximum number of groups a user may belong to.
+This will only be present if there is a corresponding setting in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+.It network_addrs=list
+A space-separated list of IP network addresses and netmasks in the
+form
+.Dq addr/netmask ,
+e.g.,
+.Dq 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 .
+The address and netmask pairs may be either IPv4 or IPv6, depending on
+what the operating system supports.
+If the address contains a colon
+.Pq Ql :\& ,
+it is an IPv6 address, else it is IPv4.
+.It noninteractive=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+.Fl n
+option, indicating that
+.Nm sudo
+should operate in non-interactive mode.
+The plugin may reject a command run in non-interactive mode if user
+interaction is required.
+.It plugin_dir=string
+The default plugin directory used by the
+.Nm sudo
+front end.
+This is the default directory set at compile time and may not
+correspond to the directory the running plugin was loaded from.
+It may be used by a plugin to locate support files.
+.It plugin_path=string
+The path name of plugin loaded by the
+.Nm sudo
+front end.
+The path name will be a fully-qualified unless the plugin was
+statically compiled into
+.Nm sudo .
+.It preserve_environment=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+.Fl E
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to preserve the environment.
+.It preserve_groups=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the
+.Fl P
+option, indicating that
+the user wishes to preserve the group vector instead of setting it
+based on the runas user.
+.It progname=string
+The command name that sudo was run as, typically
+.Dq sudo
+or
+.Dq sudoedit .
+.It prompt=string
+The prompt to use when requesting a password, if specified via
+the

+Support for running the command on a remote host is meant to be implemented
+via a helper program that is executed in place of the user-specified command.
+The
+.Nm sudo
+front end is only capable of executing commands on the local host.
+Only available starting with API version 1.4.
+.It run_shell=bool
+Set to true if the user specified the

+option is specified or if invoked as
+.Nm sudoedit .
+The plugin shall substitute an editor into
+.Em argv
+in the
+.Fn check_policy
+function or return \-2 with a usage error
+if the plugin does not support
+.Em sudoedit .
+For more information, see the
+.Em check_policy
+section.
+.It timeout=string
+Command timeout specified by the user via the
+.Fl T
+option.
+Not all plugins support command timeouts and the ability of the
+user to set a timeout may be restricted by policy.
+The format of the timeout string is plugin-specific.
+.El
+.Pp
+Additional settings may be added in the future so the plugin should
+silently ignore settings that it does not recognize.
+.It user_info
+A vector of information about the user running the command in the form of
+.Dq name=value
+strings.
+The vector is terminated by a

+.It plugin_options
+Any (non-comment) strings immediately after the plugin path are
+passed as arguments to the plugin.
+These arguments are split on a white space boundary and are passed to
+the plugin in the form of a
+.Dv NULL Ns -terminated
+array of strings.
+If no arguments were

+.Pp
+NOTE: the

+Failure to do so may result in a crash.
+.It errstr
+If the

+store a message describing the failure or error in
+.Fa errstr .
+The
+.Nm sudo
+front end will then pass this value to any registered audit plugins.
+The string stored in
+.Fa errstr
+must remain valid until the plugin's

+.Pp
+NOTE: the

+Failure to do so may result in a crash.
+.El
+.It close
+.Bd -literal -compact
+void (*close)(int exit_status, int error);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn close
+function is called when
+.Nm sudo
+is finished, shortly before it exits.
+Starting with API version 1.15,
+.Fn close
+is called regardless of whether or not a command was actually executed.
+This makes it possible for plugins to perform cleanup even when a
+command was not run.
+It is not possible to tell whether a command was run based solely
+on the arguments passed to the
+.Fn close
+function.
+To determine if a command was actually run,
+the plugin must keep track of whether or not the
+.Fn check_policy
+function returned successfully.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It exit_status
+The command's exit status, as returned by the
+.Xr wait 2
+system call, or zero if no command was run.
+The value of
+.Li exit_status
+is undefined if
+.Li error
+is non-zero.
+.It error
+If the command could not be executed, this is set to the value of
+.Li errno
+set by the
+.Xr execve 2
+system call.
+The plugin is responsible for displaying error information via the
+.Fn conversation
+or
+.Fn plugin_printf
+function.
+If the command was successfully executed, the value of
+.Li error
+is zero.
+.El
+.Pp
+If no
+.Fn close
+function is defined, no I/O logging plugins are loaded,
+and neither the
+.Em timeout
+not
+.Em use_pty
+options are set in the
+.Li command_info
+list, the
+.Nm sudo
+front end may execute the command directly instead of running
+it as a child process.
+.It show_version
+.Bd -literal -compact
+int (*show_version)(int verbose);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn show_version
+function is called by
+.Nm sudo
+when the user specifies
+the
+.Fl V
+option.
+The plugin may display its version information to the user via the
+.Fn conversation
+or
+.Fn plugin_printf
+function using
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG .
+If the user requests detailed version information, the verbose flag will be set.
+.Pp
+Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure, \-1 if a general error occurred,
+or \-2 if there was a usage error, although the return value is currently
+ignored.
+.It check_policy
+.Bd -literal -compact
+int (*check_policy)(int argc, char * const argv[], char *env_add[],
+ char **command_info[], char **argv_out[], char **user_env_out[],
+ const char **errstr);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn check_policy
+function is called by
+.Nm sudo
+to determine
+whether the user is allowed to run the specified commands.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Em sudoedit
+option was enabled in the
+.Em settings
+array
+passed to the
+.Fn open
+function, the user has requested
+.Em sudoedit
+mode.
+.Em sudoedit
+is a mechanism for editing one or more files
+where an editor is run with the user's credentials instead of with
+elevated privileges.
+.Nm sudo
+achieves this by creating user-writable
+temporary copies of the files to be edited and then overwriting the
+originals with the temporary copies after editing is complete.
+If the plugin supports
+.Em sudoedit ,
+it should choose the editor to be used, potentially from a variable
+in the user's environment, such as
+.Li EDITOR ,
+and include it in
+.Em argv_out
+(note that environment
+variables may include command line options).
+The files to be edited should be copied from
+.Em argv
+into
+.Em argv_out ,
+separated from the
+editor and its arguments by a
+.Dq Li --
+element.
+The
+.Dq Li --
+will
+be removed by
+.Nm sudo
+before the editor is executed.
+The plugin should also set
+.Em sudoedit=true
+in the
+.Em command_info
+list.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn check_policy
+function returns 1 if the command is allowed,
+0 if not allowed, \-1 for a general error, or \-2 for a usage error
+or if
+.Em sudoedit
+was specified but is unsupported by the plugin.
+In the latter case,
+.Nm sudo
+will print a usage message before it
+exits.
+If an error occurs, the plugin may optionally call the
+.Fn conversation
+or
+.Fn plugin_printf
+function with
+.Dv SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG
+to present additional error information to the user.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It argc
+The number of elements in
+.Em argv ,
+not counting the final
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+.It argv
+The argument vector describing the command the user wishes to run,
+in the same form as what would be passed to the
+.Xr execve 2
+system call.
+The vector is terminated by a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+.It env_add
+Additional environment variables specified by the user on the command
+line in the form of a
+.Dv NULL Ns -terminated
+vector of
+.Dq name=value
+strings.
+The plugin may reject the command if one or more variables
+are not allowed to be set, or it may silently ignore such variables.
+.Pp
+When parsing
+.Em env_add ,
+the plugin should split on the
+.Sy first
+equal sign
+.Pq Ql =
+since the
+.Em name
+field will never include one
+itself but the
+.Em value
+might.
+.It command_info
+Information about the command being run in the form of
+.Dq name=value
+strings.
+These values are used by
+.Nm sudo
+to set the execution
+environment when running a command.
+The plugin is responsible for creating and populating the vector,
+which must be terminated with a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+The following values are recognized by
+.Nm sudo :
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It chroot=string
+The root directory to use when running the command.
+.It closefrom=number
+If specified,
+.Nm sudo
+will close all files descriptors with a value
+of
+.Em number
+or higher.
+.It command=string
+Fully qualified path to the command to be executed.
+.It cwd=string
+The current working directory to change to when executing the command.
+If
+.Nm sudo
+is unable to change to the new working directory, the command will
+not be run unless
+.Em cwd_optional
+is also set (see below).
+.It cwd_optional=bool
+If enabled,
+.Nm sudo
+will treat an inability to change to the new working directory as a
+non-fatal error.
+This setting has no effect unless
+.Em cwd
+is also set.
+.It exec_background=bool
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+runs a command as the foreground process as long as
+.Nm sudo
+itself is running in the foreground.
+When
+.Em exec_background
+is enabled and the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal
+(due to I/O logging or the
+.Em use_pty
+setting), the command will be run as a background process.
+Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal
+settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
+.Dv SIGTTIN
+signal (or
+.Dv SIGTTOU
+in the case of terminal settings).
+If this happens when
+.Nm sudo
+is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
+and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
+The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
+.Nm sudo
+need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
+Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
+has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
+to tell whether the command really wants the input).
+This is different from historic
+.Em sudo
+behavior or when the command is not being run in a pseudo-terminal.
+.Pp
+For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
+automatic restarting of system calls.
+Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
+and even those that do may have bugs.
+For example, macOS fails to restart the
+.Fn tcgetattr
+and
+.Fn tcsetattr
+system calls (this is a bug in macOS).
+Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
+.Dv SIGTTIN
+or
+.Dv SIGTTOU
+signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
+with a different signal (usually
+.Dv SIGTOP )
+will not be automatically foregrounded.
+Some versions of the linux
+.Xr su 1
+command behave this way.
+Because of this, a plugin should not set
+.Em exec_background
+unless it is explicitly enabled by the administrator and there should
+be a way to enabled or disable it on a per-command basis.
+.Pp
+This setting has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or
+.Em use_pty
+is enabled.
+.It execfd=number
+If specified,
+.Nm sudo
+will use the
+.Xr fexecve 2
+system call to execute the command instead of
+.Xr execve 2 .
+The specified
+.Em number
+must refer to an open file descriptor.
+.It iolog_compress=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should compress the
+log data.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_group=string
+The group that will own newly created I/O log files and directories.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_mode=octal
+The file permission mode to use when creating I/O log files and directories.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_user=string
+The user that will own newly created I/O log files and directories.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_path=string
+Fully qualified path to the file or directory in which I/O log is
+to be stored.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+If no I/O logging plugin is loaded, this setting has no effect.
+.It iolog_stdin=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the
+standard input if it is not connected to a terminal device.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_stdout=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the
+standard output if it is not connected to a terminal device.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_stderr=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the
+standard error if it is not connected to a terminal device.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_ttyin=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log all
+terminal input.
+This only includes input typed by the user and not from a pipe or
+redirected from a file.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It iolog_ttyout=bool
+Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log all
+terminal output.
+This only includes output to the screen, not output to a pipe or file.
+This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
+.It login_class=string
+.Bx
+login class to use when setting resource limits and nice value (optional).
+This option is only set on systems that support login classes.
+.It nice=int
+Nice value (priority) to use when executing the command.
+The nice value, if specified, overrides the priority associated with the

+.It noexec=bool
+If set, prevent the command from executing other programs.
+.It preserve_fds=list
+A comma-separated list of file descriptors that should be
+preserved, regardless of the value of the
+.Em closefrom
+setting.
+Only available starting with API version 1.5.
+.It preserve_groups=bool
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will preserve the user's group vector instead of

+.Ss Signal handlers
+The

+front end installs default signal handlers to trap common signals
+while the plugin functions are run.

+executed:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact -width 1n
+.It
+.Dv SIGALRM

+.Dv SIGUSR1
+.It
+.Dv SIGUSR2
+.El
+.Pp
+If a fatal signal is received before the command is executed,
+.Nm sudo
+will call the plugin's
+.Fn close
+function with an exit status of 128 plus the value of the signal
+that was received.
+This allows for consistent logging of commands killed by a signal
+for plugins that log such information in their
+.Fn close
+function.
+An exception to this is
+.Ev SIGPIPE ,
+which is ignored until the command is executed.
+.Pp
+A plugin may temporarily install its own signal handlers but must
+restore the original handler before the plugin function returns.
+.Ss Hook function API
+Beginning with plugin API version 1.2, it is possible to install
+hooks for certain functions called by the
+.Nm sudo
+front end.
+.Pp
+Currently, the only supported hooks relate to the handling of
+environment variables.
+Hooks can be used to intercept attempts to get, set, or remove
+environment variables so that these changes can be reflected in
+the version of the environment that is used to execute a command.
+A future version of the API will support hooking internal
+.Nm sudo
+front end functions as well.
+.Pp
+.Em Hook structure
+.Pp
+Hooks in
+.Nm sudo
+are described by the following structure:
+.Bd -literal
+typedef int (*sudo_hook_fn_t)();
+
+struct sudo_hook {
+ unsigned int hook_version;
+ unsigned int hook_type;

+structure has the following fields:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It hook_version
+The
+.Li hook_version
+field should be set to
+.Dv SUDO_HOOK_VERSION .
+.It hook_type
+The
+.Li hook_type
+field may be one of the following supported hook types:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Dv SUDO_HOOK_SETENV
+The C library
+.Xr setenv 3
+function.
+Any registered hooks will run before the C library implementation.
+The

+.Pp
+If the registered hook does not match the typedef the results are
+unspecified.
+.It Dv SUDO_HOOK_PUTENV
+The C library
+.Xr putenv 3
+function.
+Any registered hooks will run before the C library implementation.
+The

+.Pp
+If the registered hook does not match the typedef the results are
+unspecified.
+.El
+.It hook_fn
+sudo_hook_fn_t hook_fn;
+.Pp
+The
+.Li hook_fn
+field should be set to the plugin's hook implementation.
+The actual function arguments will vary depending on the
+.Li hook_type
+(see
+.Li hook_type
+above).
+In all cases, the
+.Li closure
+field of
+.Li struct sudo_hook
+is passed as the last function parameter.
+This can be used to pass arbitrary data to the plugin's hook implementation.
+.Pp
+The function return value may be one of the following:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_ERROR
+The hook function encountered an error.
+.It Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_NEXT
+The hook completed without error, go on to the next hook (including
+the system implementation if applicable).
+For example, a
+.Xr getenv 3
+hook might return
+.Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_NEXT
+if the specified variable was not found in the private copy of the environment.
+.It Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_STOP
+The hook completed without error, stop processing hooks for this invocation.
+This can be used to replace the system implementation.
+For example, a
+.Li setenv
+hook that operates on a private copy of
+the environment but leaves
+.Li environ
+unchanged.
+.El
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that it is very easy to create an infinite loop when hooking
+C library functions.
+For example, a
+.Xr getenv 3
+hook that calls the
+.Xr snprintf 3
+function may create a loop if the
+.Xr snprintf 3
+implementation calls
+.Xr getenv 3
+to check the locale.
+To prevent this, you may wish to use a static variable in the hook
+function to guard against nested calls.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal
+static int in_progress = 0; /* avoid recursion */
+if (in_progress)
+ return SUDO_HOOK_RET_NEXT;
+in_progress = 1;
+\&...
+in_progress = 0;
+return SUDO_HOOK_RET_STOP;

+.Ss Event API
+When
+.Nm sudo
+runs a command, it uses an event loop to service signals and I/O.
+Events may be triggered based on time, a file or socket descriptor
+becoming ready, or due to receipt of a signal.
+Starting with API version 1.15, it is possible for a plugin to
+participate in this event loop by calling the
+.Fn event_alloc
+function.
+.Pp
+.Em Event structure
+.Pp
+Events are described by the following structure:

+.Bd -literal -compact
+int (*set)(struct sudo_plugin_event *pev, int fd, int events,
+ sudo_plugin_ev_callback_t callback, void *closure);

+.Fn set
+function.
+If the
+.Fa timeout
+argument is not NULL, it should specify a (relative) timeout after
+which the event will be triggered if the main event criteria has
+not been met.
+This is often used to implement an I/O timeout where the event
+will fire if a descriptor is not ready within a certain time
+period.
+If the event is already present in the event loop, its

+.El
+.Ss Remote command execution
+The
+.Nm sudo
+front end does not support running remote commands.
+However, starting with
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.8, the
+.Fl h
+option may be used to specify a remote host that is passed
+to the policy plugin.
+A plugin may also accept a
+.Em runas_user
+in the form of
+.Dq user@hostname
+which will work with older versions of
+.Nm sudo .
+It is anticipated that remote commands will be supported by executing a
+.Dq helper
+program.
+The policy plugin should setup the execution environment such that the
+.Nm sudo
+front end will run the helper which, in turn, will connect to the
+remote host and run the command.
+.Pp
+For example, the policy plugin could utilize
+.Nm ssh
+to perform remote command execution.
+The helper program would be responsible for running
+.Nm ssh
+with the proper options to use a private key or certificate
+that the remote host will accept and run a program
+on the remote host that would setup the execution environment
+accordingly.
+.Pp
+Note that remote
+.Nm sudoedit
+functionality must be handled by the policy plugin, not
+.Nm sudo
+itself as the front end has no knowledge that a remote command is
+being executed.
+This may be addressed in a future revision of the plugin API.
+.Ss Conversation API
+If the plugin needs to interact with the user, it may do so via the
+.Fn conversation
+function.
+A plugin should not attempt to read directly from the standard input
+or the user's tty (neither of which are guaranteed to exist).
+The caller must include a trailing newline in
+.Li msg
+if one is to be printed.
+.Pp
+A
+.Fn printf Ns -style
+function is also available that can be used to display informational
+or error messages to the user, which is usually more convenient for
+simple messages where no use input is required.
+.Pp
+.Em Conversation function structures
+.Pp
+The conversation function takes as arguments pointers to the following
+structures:
+.Bd -literal
+struct sudo_conv_message {
+#define SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF 0x0001 /* do not echo user input */

+ sudo_conv_callback_fn_t on_resume;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Pointers to the
+.Fn conversation
+and
+.Fn printf Ns -style
+functions are passed
+in to the plugin's
+.Fn open
+function when the plugin is initialized.
+The following type definitions can be used in the declaration of the
+.Fn open
+function:
+.Bd -literal
+typedef int (*sudo_conv_t)(int num_msgs,
+ const struct sudo_conv_message msgs[],
+ struct sudo_conv_reply replies[], struct sudo_conv_callback *callback);
+
+typedef int (*sudo_printf_t)(int msg_type, const char *fmt, ...);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To use the
+.Fn conversation
+function, the plugin must pass an array of
+.Li sudo_conv_message
+and
+.Li sudo_conv_reply
+structures.
+There must be a
+.Li struct sudo_conv_message
+and
+.Li struct sudo_conv_reply
+for
+each message in the conversation, that is, both arrays must have the same
+number of elements.
+Each
+.Li struct sudo_conv_reply
+must have its
+.Em reply
+member initialized to
+.Dv NULL .
+The
+.Li struct sudo_conv_callback
+pointer, if not
+.Dv NULL ,
+should contain function pointers to be called when the
+.Nm sudo
+process is suspended and/or resumed during conversation input.
+The
+.Fa on_suspend
+and
+.Fa on_resume
+functions are called with the signal that caused
+.Nm sudo
+to be suspended and the
+.Fa closure
+pointer from the
+.Li struct sudo_conv_callback .
+These functions should return 0 on success and \-1 on error.
+On error, the conversation will end and the conversation function
+will return a value of \-1.
+The intended use is to allow the plugin to release resources, such as locks,
+that should not be held indefinitely while suspended and then reacquire them
+when the process is resumed.
+Note that the functions are not actually invoked from within a signal handler.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em msg_type
+must be set to one of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF
+Prompt the user for input with echo disabled;
+this is generally used for passwords.
+The reply will be stored in the
+.Em replies
+array, and it will never be
+.Dv NULL .
+.It SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_ON
+Prompt the user for input with echo enabled.
+The reply will be stored in the
+.Em replies
+array, and it will never be
+.Dv NULL .
+.It SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG
+Display an error message.
+The message is written to the standard error unless the
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY
+flag is set, in which case it is written to the user's terminal if possible.
+.It SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG
+Display a message.
+The message is written to the standard output unless the
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY
+flag is set, in which case it is written to the user's terminal if possible.
+.It SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_MASK
+Prompt the user for input but echo an asterisk character for each
+character read.
+The reply will be stored in the
+.Em replies
+array, and it will never be
+.Dv NULL .
+This can be used to provide visual feedback to the user while reading
+sensitive information that should not be displayed.
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition to the above values, the following flag bits may also be set:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OK
+Allow input to be read when echo cannot be disabled
+when the message type is
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF
+or
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_PROMPT_MASK .
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will refuse to read input if the echo cannot be disabled for those
+message types.
+.It SUDO_CONV_PREFER_TTY
+When displaying a message via
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG
+or
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG ,
+try to write the message to the user's terminal.
+If the terminal is unavailable, the standard error or standard output
+will be used, depending upon whether
+The user's terminal is always used when possible for input,
+this flag is only used for output.
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG
+or
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG
+was used.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Em timeout
+in seconds until the prompt will wait for no more input.
+A zero value implies an infinite timeout.
+.Pp
+The plugin is responsible for freeing the reply buffer located in each
+.Li struct sudo_conv_reply ,
+if it is not
+.Dv NULL .
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_REPL_MAX
+represents the maximum length of the reply buffer (not including
+the trailing NUL character).
+In practical terms, this is the longest password
+.Nm sudo
+will support.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn printf Ns -style
+function uses the same underlying mechanism as the
+.Fn conversation
+function but only supports
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_INFO_MSG
+and
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_ERROR_MSG
+for the
+.Em msg_type
+parameter.
+It can be more convenient than using the
+.Fn conversation
+function if no user reply is needed and supports standard
+.Fn printf
+escape sequences.
+.Pp
+See the sample plugin for an example of the
+.Fn conversation
+function usage.
+.Ss Plugin invocation order
+As of
+.Nm sudo
+1.9.0, the plugin
+.Fn open
+and
+.Fn close
+functions are called in the
+following order:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+audit open
+.It
+policy open
+.It
+approval open
+.It
+approval close
+.It
+I/O log open
+.It
+command runs
+.It
+command exits
+.It
+I/O log close
+.It
+policy close
+.It
+audit close
+.It
+sudo exits
+.El
+.Pp
+Prior to
+.Nm sudo
+1.9.0, the I/O log
+.Fn close
+function was called
+.Em after
+the policy
+.Fn close
+function.
+.Ss Sudoers group plugin API
+The
+.Nm sudoers
+plugin supports its own plugin interface to allow non-Unix
+group lookups.
+This can be used to query a group source other than the standard Unix
+group database.
+Two sample group plugins are bundled with
+.Nm sudo ,
+.Em group_file
+and
+.Em system_group ,
+are detailed in
+.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ .
+Third party group plugins include a QAS AD plugin available from Quest Software.
+.Pp
+A group plugin must declare and populate a
+.Li sudoers_group_plugin
+struct in the global scope.
+This structure contains pointers to the functions that implement plugin
+initialization, cleanup and group lookup.
+.Bd -literal
+struct sudoers_group_plugin {
+ unsigned int version;
+ int (*init)(int version, sudo_printf_t sudo_printf,
+ char *const argv[]);
+ void (*cleanup)(void);
+ int (*query)(const char *user, const char *group,
+ const struct passwd *pwd);
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoers_group_plugin
+struct has the following fields:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It version
+The
+.Li version
+field should be set to GROUP_API_VERSION.
+.Pp
+This allows
+.Nm sudoers
+to determine the API version the group plugin
+was built against.
+.It init
+.Bd -literal -compact
+int (*init)(int version, sudo_printf_t plugin_printf,
+ char *const argv[]);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn init
+function is called after
+.Em sudoers
+has been parsed but
+before any policy checks.
+It returns 1 on success, 0 on failure (or if the plugin is not configured),
+and \-1 if a error occurred.
+If an error occurs, the plugin may call the
+.Fn plugin_printf
+function with
+.Dv SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG
+to present additional error information to the user.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It version
+The version passed in by
+.Nm sudoers
+allows the plugin to determine the
+major and minor version number of the group plugin API supported by
+.Nm sudoers .
+.It plugin_printf
+A pointer to a
+.Fn printf Ns -style
+function that may be used to display informational or error message to the user.
+Returns the number of characters printed on success and \-1 on failure.
+.It argv
+A
+.Dv NULL Ns -terminated
+array of arguments generated from the
+.Em group_plugin
+option in
+.Em sudoers .
+If no arguments were given,
+.Em argv
+will be
+.Dv NULL .
+.El
+.It cleanup
+.Bd -literal -compact
+void (*cleanup)();
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn cleanup
+function is called when
+.Nm sudoers
+has finished its
+group checks.
+The plugin should free any memory it has allocated and close open file handles.
+.It query
+.Bd -literal -compact
+int (*query)(const char *user, const char *group,
+ const struct passwd *pwd);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn query
+function is used to ask the group plugin whether
+.Em user
+is a member of
+.Em group .
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It user
+The name of the user being looked up in the external group database.
+.It group
+The name of the group being queried.
+.It pwd
+The password database entry for
+.Em user ,
+if any.
+If
+.Em user
+is not
+present in the password database,
+.Em pwd
+will be
+.Dv NULL .

+.Sh PLUGIN API CHANGELOG
+The following revisions have been made to the Sudo Plugin API.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Version 1.0
+Initial API version.
+.It Version 1.1 (sudo 1.8.0)
+The I/O logging plugin's
+.Fn open
+function was modified to take the
+.Li command_info
+list as an argument.
+.It Version 1.2 (sudo 1.8.5)
+The Policy and I/O logging plugins'
+.Fn open
+functions are now passed
+a list of plugin parameters if any are specified in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+A simple hooks API has been introduced to allow plugins to hook in to the
+system's environment handling functions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Li init_session
+Policy plugin function is now passed a pointer
+to the user environment which can be updated as needed.
+This can be used to merge in environment variables stored in the PAM
+handle before a command is run.
+.It Version 1.3 (sudo 1.8.7)
+Support for the
+.Em exec_background
+entry has been added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em max_groups
+and
+.Em plugin_dir
+entries were added to the
+.Li settings
+list.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn version
+and
+.Fn close
+functions are now optional.
+Previously, a missing
+.Fn version
+or
+.Fn close
+function would result in a crash.
+If no policy plugin
+.Fn close
+function is defined, a default
+.Fn close
+function will be provided by the
+.Nm sudo
+front end that displays a warning if the command could not be
+executed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm sudo
+front end now installs default signal handlers to trap common signals
+while the plugin functions are run.
+.It Version 1.4 (sudo 1.8.8)
+The
+.Em remote_host
+entry was added to the
+.Li settings
+list.
+.It Version 1.5 (sudo 1.8.9)
+The
+.Em preserve_fds
+entry was added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+.It Version 1.6 (sudo 1.8.11)
+The behavior when an I/O logging plugin returns an error
+.Pq \-1
+has changed.
+Previously, the
+.Nm sudo
+front end took no action when the
+.Fn log_ttyin ,
+.Fn log_ttyout ,
+.Fn log_stdin ,
+.Fn log_stdout ,
+or
+.Fn log_stderr
+function returned an error.
+.Pp
+The behavior when an I/O logging plugin returns 0 has changed.
+Previously, output from the command would be displayed to the
+terminal even if an output logging function returned 0.
+.It Version 1.7 (sudo 1.8.12)
+The
+.Em plugin_path
+entry was added to the
+.Li settings
+list.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em debug_flags
+entry now starts with a debug file path name and may occur multiple
+times if there are multiple plugin-specific Debug lines in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ file.
+.It Version 1.8 (sudo 1.8.15)
+The
+.Em sudoedit_checkdir
+and
+.Em sudoedit_follow
+entries were added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+The default value of
+.Em sudoedit_checkdir
+was changed to true in sudo 1.8.16.
+.Pp
+The sudo
+.Em conversation
+function now takes a pointer to a
+.Li struct sudo_conv_callback
+as its fourth argument.
+The
+.Li sudo_conv_t
+definition has been updated to match.
+The plugin must specify that it supports plugin API version 1.8 or higher
+to receive a conversation function pointer that supports this argument.
+.It Version 1.9 (sudo 1.8.16)
+The
+.Em execfd
+entry was added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+.It Version 1.10 (sudo 1.8.19)
+The
+.Em umask
+entry was added to the
+.Li user_info
+list.
+The
+.Em iolog_group ,
+.Em iolog_mode ,
+and
+.Em iolog_user
+entries were added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+.It Version 1.11 (sudo 1.8.20)
+The
+.Em timeout
+entry was added to the
+.Li settings
+list.
+.It Version 1.12 (sudo 1.8.21)
+The
+.Li change_winsize
+field was added to the io_plugin struct.
+.It Version 1.13 (sudo 1.8.26)
+The
+.Li log_suspend
+field was added to the io_plugin struct.
+.It Version 1.14 (sudo 1.8.29)
+The

+.Li command_info
+list.
+.It Version 1.15 (sudo 1.9.0)
+The
+.Em cwd_optional
+entry was added to the
+.Li command_info
+list.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em event_alloc
+field was added to the policy_plugin and io_plugin structs.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa errstr
+argument was added to the policy and I/O plugin functions
+which the plugin function can use to return an error string.
+This string may be used by the audit plugin to report failure or
+error conditions set by the other plugins.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn close
+function is now is called regardless of whether or not a command
+was actually executed.
+This makes it possible for plugins to perform cleanup even when a
+command was not run.
+.Pp
+.Dv SUDO_CONV_REPL_MAX
+has increased from 255 to 1023 bytes.
+.Pp
+Support for audit and approval plugins was added.

+.SH "NAME"
+\fBsudo_plugin_python\fR
+\- Sudo Plugin API (Python)
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+Starting with version 1.9,
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugins can be written in python.
+The API closely follows the C
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugin API described by
+sudo_plugin(@mansectform@).
+.PP
+The supported plugins types are:
+.PP
+.RS 4n
+.PD 0
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+Policy plugin
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+I/O plugin
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+Audit plugin
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+Approval plugin
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+Group provider plugin
+.RE
+.PD
+.PP
+Python plugin support needs to be explicitly enabled at build time
+with the configure option
+\(lq--enable-python\(rq.
+Python version 3.0 or higher is required.
+.SS "Sudo Python Plugin Base"
+A plugin written in Python should be a class in a python file that
+inherits from
+\fIsudo.Plugin\fR.
+The
+\fIsudo.Plugin\fR
+base class has no real purpose other than to identify this class as a plugin.
+.PP
+The only implemented method is a constructor, which stores the
+keyword arguments it receives as fields (member variables) in the object.
+This is intended as a convenience to allow you to avoid writing the
+constructor yourself.
+.PP
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+import sudo
+
+class MySudoPlugin(sudo.Plugin):
+ # example constructor (optional)
+ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
+ super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
+
+ # example destructor (optional)
+ def __del__(self):
+ pass
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Both the constructor and destructor are optional and can be omitted.
+.PP
+The customized Plugin class should define a few plugin-specific methods.
+When the plugin loads,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will create an instance of this class and call the methods.
+The actual methods required depent on the type of the plugin,
+but most return an
+\(lqint\(rq
+result code, as documented in
+sudo_plugin(@mansctsu@),
+that indicates whether or not the method was successful.
+The Python sudo module defines the following constants to improve readability:
+.RS 4n
+.TS
+l l.
+.PP
+\fBDefine\fR \fBValue\fR
+.PP
+\fRsudo.RC.OK\fR 1
+.PP
+\fRsudo.RC.ACCEPT\fR 1
+.PP
+\fRsudo.RC.REJECT\fR 0
+.PP
+\fRsudo.RC.ERROR\fR -1
+.PP
+\fRsudo.RC.USAGE_ERROR\fR -2
+.TE
+.RE
+.PP
+If a function returns
+\fINone\fR
+(for example, if it does not call return),
+it will be considered to have returned
+\fRsudo.RC.OK\fR.
+If an exception is raised (other than sudo.PluginException), the backtrace will be
+shown to the user and the plugin function will return
+\fRsudo.RC.ERROR\fR.
+If that is not acceptable, you must catch the exception and handle it yourself.
+.PP
+Instead of just returning
+\fRsudo.RC.ERROR\fR
+or
+\fRsudo.RC.REJECT\fR
+result code the plugin can also provide a message describing the problem.
+This can be done by raising one of the special exceptions:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+raise sudo.PluginError("Message")
+raise sudo.PluginReject("Message")
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+This added message will be used by the audit plugins.
+Both exceptions inherit from
+\fRsudo.PluginException\fR
+.SS "Python Plugin Loader"
+Running the Python interpreter and bridging between C and Python is
+handled by the
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugin
+\fRpython_plugin.so\fR.
+This shared object can be loaded like any other dynamic
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugin and should receive the path and the class name of the Python
+plugin it is loading as arguments.
+.PP
+Example usage in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@):
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin python_policy python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_io python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_audit python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_approval python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Example group provider plugin usage in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Defaults group_plugin="python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>"
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The plugin arguments are as follows:
+.TP 6n
+ModulePath
+The path of a python file which contains the class of the sudo Python plugin.
+It must be either an absolute path or a path relative to the sudo Python plugin
+directory: "@plugindir@/python".
+.TP 6n
+ClassName
+(Optional.) The name of the class implementing the sudo Python plugin.
+If not supplied, the one and only sudo.Plugin that is present in the module
+will be used.
+If there are multiple such plugins in the module (or none), it
+will result in an error.
+.SS "Policy plugin API"
+Policy plugins must be registered in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin python_policy python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Currently, only a single policy plugin may be specified in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@).
+.PP
+A policy plugin may have the following member functions:
+.TP 6n
+\fBconstructor\fR
+.nf
+.RS 6n
+__init__(self, user_env: Tuple[str, ...], settings: Tuple[str, ...],
+ version: str, user_info: Tuple[str, ...],
+ plugin_options: Tuple[str, ...])
+.RE
+.fi
+.RS 6n
+.sp
+Implementing this function is optional.
+The default constructor will set the keyword arguments it receives
+as member variables in the object.
+.sp
+The constructor matches the
+\fBopen\fR()
+function in the C sudo plugin API.
+.sp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.TP 6n
+\fIuser_env\fR
+The user's environment as a tuple of strings in
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+format.
+.TP 6n
+\fIsettings\fR
+A tuple of user-supplied
+\fIsudo\fR
+settings in the form of
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+strings.
+.TP 6n
+\fIversion\fR
+The version of the Python Policy Plugin API.
+.TP 6n
+\fIuser_info\fR
+A tuple of information about the user running the command in the form of
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+strings.
+.TP 6n
+\fIplugin_options\fR
+The plugin options passed as arguments in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+plugin registration.
+This is a tuple of strings, usually (but not necessarily) in
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+format.
+.PP
+The
+\fBsudo.options_as_dict\fR()
+convenience function can be used to convert
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+pairs to a dictionary.
+For a list of recognized keys and their supported values,
+see the policy plugin
+\fBopen\fR()
+documentation in
+sudo_plugin(@mansectform@).
+.RE
+.TP 6n
+\fBcheck_policy\fR
+.nf
+.RS 6n
+check_policy(self, argv: Tuple[str, ...], env_add: Tuple[str, ...])
+.RE
+.fi
+.RS 6n
+.sp
+The
+\fBcheck_policy\fR()
+function is called by
+\fBsudo\fR
+to determine whether the user is allowed to run the specified command.
+Implementing this function is mandatory for a policy plugin.
+.sp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.TP 6n
+\fIargv\fR
+A tuple describing the command the user wishes to run.
+.TP 6n
+\fIenv_add\fR
+Additional environment variables specified by the user on the command line in
+the form of a tuple of
+\(lqkey=value\(rq
+pairs.
+The
+\fBsudo.options_as_dict\fR()
+convenience function can be used to convert them to a dictionary.
+.PP
+This function should return a result code or a tuple in the following format:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 12n
+return (rc, command_info_out, argv_out, user_env_out)
+.RE
+.fi
+.sp
+The tuple values are as follows:

+All Python plugin handling is implemented inside the

+dynamic plugin.
+Therefore, if no Python plugin is registered in
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+or the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will not load the Python interpreter or the Python libraries.
+.PP
+By default, a Python plugin can only import Python modules which are
+owned by
+\fIroot\fR
+and are only writable by the owner.
+The reason for this is to prevent a file getting imported accidentally
+which is modifiable by a non-root user.
+As
+\fBsudo\fR
+plugins run as
+\fIroot\fR,
+accidentally importing such file would make it possible for any user
+(having write access) to execute any code with administrative rights.
+.PP
+However, during development of a plugin this might not be very convenient.
+The
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+\fRdeveloper_mode\fR
+option can be used to disable it.
+For example:
+.RS 6n
+Set developer_mode true
+.RE
+.PP
+Please note that this creates a security risk, so it is not recommended
+on critical systems such as a desktop machine for daily use, but is intended

+.Dt SUDO_PLUGIN_PYTHON @mansectform@
+.Os Sudo @PACKAGE_VERSION@
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudo_plugin_python
+.Nd Sudo Plugin API (Python)
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Starting with version 1.9,
+.Nm sudo
+plugins can be written in python.
+The API closely follows the C
+.Nm sudo
+plugin API described by
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+The supported plugins types are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact -offset 4n -width 1n
+.It
+Policy plugin
+.It
+I/O plugin
+.It
+Audit plugin
+.It
+Approval plugin
+.It
+Group provider plugin
+.El
+.Pp
+Python plugin support needs to be explicitly enabled at build time
+with the configure option
+.Dq --enable-python .
+Python version 3.0 or higher is required.
+.Ss Sudo Python Plugin Base
+A plugin written in Python should be a class in a python file that
+inherits from
+.Em sudo.Plugin .
+The
+.Em sudo.Plugin
+base class has no real purpose other than to identify this class as a plugin.
+.Pp
+The only implemented method is a constructor, which stores the
+keyword arguments it receives as fields (member variables) in the object.
+This is intended as a convenience to allow you to avoid writing the
+constructor yourself.
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+import sudo
+
+class MySudoPlugin(sudo.Plugin):
+ # example constructor (optional)
+ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
+ super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
+
+ # example destructor (optional)
+ def __del__(self):
+ pass
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Both the constructor and destructor are optional and can be omitted.
+.Pp
+The customized Plugin class should define a few plugin-specific methods.
+When the plugin loads,
+.Nm sudo
+will create an instance of this class and call the methods.
+The actual methods required depent on the type of the plugin,
+but most return an
+.Dq int
+result code, as documented in
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansctsu@ ,
+that indicates whether or not the method was successful.
+The Python sudo module defines the following constants to improve readability:
+.Bl -column "sudo.RC.USAGE_ERROR" "XXX" -offset 4n
+.It Sy Define Ta Sy Value
+.It Dv sudo.RC.OK Ta 1
+.It Dv sudo.RC.ACCEPT Ta 1
+.It Dv sudo.RC.REJECT Ta 0
+.It Dv sudo.RC.ERROR Ta -1
+.It Dv sudo.RC.USAGE_ERROR Ta -2
+.El
+.Pp
+If a function returns
+.Em None
+(for example, if it does not call return),
+it will be considered to have returned
+.Dv sudo.RC.OK .
+If an exception is raised (other than sudo.PluginException), the backtrace will be
+shown to the user and the plugin function will return
+.Dv sudo.RC.ERROR .
+If that is not acceptable, you must catch the exception and handle it yourself.
+.Pp
+Instead of just returning
+.Dv sudo.RC.ERROR
+or
+.Dv sudo.RC.REJECT
+result code the plugin can also provide a message describing the problem.
+This can be done by raising one of the special exceptions:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+raise sudo.PluginError("Message")
+raise sudo.PluginReject("Message")
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This added message will be used by the audit plugins.
+Both exceptions inherit from
+.Dv sudo.PluginException
+.Ss Python Plugin Loader
+Running the Python interpreter and bridging between C and Python is
+handled by the
+.Nm sudo
+plugin
+.Li python_plugin.so .
+This shared object can be loaded like any other dynamic
+.Nm sudo
+plugin and should receive the path and the class name of the Python
+plugin it is loading as arguments.
+.Pp
+Example usage in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin python_policy python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_io python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_audit python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+Plugin python_approval python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Example group provider plugin usage in the
+.Em sudoers
+file:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Defaults group_plugin="python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The plugin arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It ModulePath
+The path of a python file which contains the class of the sudo Python plugin.
+It must be either an absolute path or a path relative to the sudo Python plugin
+directory: "@plugindir@/python".
+.It ClassName
+(Optional.) The name of the class implementing the sudo Python plugin.
+If not supplied, the one and only sudo.Plugin that is present in the module
+will be used.
+If there are multiple such plugins in the module (or none), it
+will result in an error.
+.El
+.Ss Policy plugin API
+Policy plugins must be registered in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin python_policy python_plugin.so ModulePath=<path> ClassName=<class>
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Currently, only a single policy plugin may be specified in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+A policy plugin may have the following member functions:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Sy constructor
+.Bd -literal
+__init__(self, user_env: Tuple[str, ...], settings: Tuple[str, ...],
+ version: str, user_info: Tuple[str, ...],
+ plugin_options: Tuple[str, ...])
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Implementing this function is optional.
+The default constructor will set the keyword arguments it receives
+as member variables in the object.
+.Pp
+The constructor matches the
+.Fn open
+function in the C sudo plugin API.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa user_env
+The user's environment as a tuple of strings in
+.Dq key=value
+format.
+.It Fa settings
+A tuple of user-supplied
+.Em sudo
+settings in the form of
+.Dq key=value
+strings.
+.It Fa version
+The version of the Python Policy Plugin API.
+.It Fa user_info
+A tuple of information about the user running the command in the form of
+.Dq key=value
+strings.
+.It Fa plugin_options
+The plugin options passed as arguments in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+plugin registration.
+This is a tuple of strings, usually (but not necessarily) in
+.Dq key=value
+format.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sudo.options_as_dict
+convenience function can be used to convert
+.Dq key=value
+pairs to a dictionary.
+For a list of recognized keys and their supported values,
+see the policy plugin
+.Fn open
+documentation in
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansectform@ .
+.It Sy check_policy
+.Bd -literal -compact
+check_policy(self, argv: Tuple[str, ...], env_add: Tuple[str, ...])
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn check_policy
+function is called by
+.Nm sudo
+to determine whether the user is allowed to run the specified command.
+Implementing this function is mandatory for a policy plugin.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa argv
+A tuple describing the command the user wishes to run.
+.It Fa env_add

+written in Python.
+.Ss Conversation API
+A Python plugin can interact with the user using the
+.Fn sudo.conv
+function which displays one or more messages described by the
+.Sy sudo.ConvMessage
+class.
+This is the Python equivalent of the
+.Fn conversation
+function in the C sudo plugin API.
+A plugin should not attempt to read directly from the standard input or
+the user's tty (neither of which are guaranteed to exist).
+.Pp
+The
+.Sy sudo.ConvMessage
+class specifies how the user interaction should occur:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudo.ConvMessage(msg_type: int, msg: str, timeout: int)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Sy sudo.ConvMessage
+member variables:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa msg_type
+Specifies the type of the conversation.
+See the
+.Dv sudo.CONV.*
+constants below.
+.It Fa msg
+The message to display to the user.
+The caller must include a trailing newline in
+.Li msg
+if one is to be displayed.
+.It Fa timeout
+Optional.
+The maximum amount of time for the conversation in seconds.
+If the timeout is exceeded, the
+.Fn sudo.conv
+function will raise a
+.Dv sudo.ConversationInterrupted
+exception.
+The default is to wait forever (no timeout).
+.El
+.Pp
+To specify the message type, the following constants are available:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact -offset 4n -width 1n
+.It
+sudo.CONV.PROMPT_ECHO_OFF
+.It
+sudo.CONV.PROMPT_ECHO_ON
+.It
+sudo.CONV.ERROR_MSG
+.It
+sudo.CONV.INFO_MSG
+.It
+sudo.CONV.PROMPT_MASK
+.It
+sudo.CONV.PROMPT_ECHO_OK
+.It
+sudo.CONV.PREFER_TTY
+.El
+.Pp
+See the
+.Xr sudo_plugin @mansectform@
+manual for a description of the message types.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sudo.conv
+function performs the actual user interaction:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudo.conv(message(s), on_suspend=suspend_function,
+ on_resume=resume_function)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa message(s)
+One of more messages (of type
+.Sy sudo.ConvMessage ) ,
+each describing a conversation.
+At least one message is required.
+.It Fa on_suspend
+An optional callback function which gets called if the conversation
+is suspended, for example by the user pressing control-Z.
+The specified function must take a single argument which will be filled
+with the number of the signal that caused the process to be suspended.
+.It Fa on_resume
+An optional callback function which gets called when the previously
+suspended conversation is resumed.
+The specified function must take a single argument which will be filled
+with the number of the signal that caused the process to be suspended.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sudo.conv
+function can raise the following exceptions:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Sy sudo.SudoException
+If the conversation fails, for example when the conversation function is not
+available.
+.It Sy sudo.ConversationInterrupted
+If the conversation function returns an error, e.g., the timeout passed
+or the user interrupted the conversation by pressing control-C.
+.El
+.Ss Conversation example
+Sudo ships with an example plugin demonstrating the Python conversation API.
+To try it, register it by adding the following lines to
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudo.conf :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin python_io python_plugin.so \e
+ ModulePath=@prefix@/share/doc/sudo/examples/example_conversation.py \e
+ ClassName=ReasonLoggerIOPlugin
+.Ed
+.Ss Information / error display API
+.Bd -literal
+sudo.log_info(string(s), sep=" ", end="\en")
+sudo.log_error(string(s), sep=" ", end="\en")
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To display information to the user, the
+.Fn sudo.log_info
+function can be used.
+To display error messages, use
+.Fn sudo.log_error .
+The syntax is similar to the Python
+.Fn print
+function.
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa string(s)
+One or more strings to display.
+.It Fa sep
+An optional string which will be used as the separator between the
+specified strings.
+The default is a space character,
+.Pq Sq \ .
+.It Fa end
+An optional string which will be displayed at the end of the message.
+The default is a new line character
+.Pq Sq \en .
+.El
+.Ss Debug API
+Debug messages are not visible to the user and are only logged debugging
+is explicitly enabled in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+Python plugins can use the
+.Fn sudo.debug
+function to make use of
+.Nm sudo Ns No 's
+debug system.
+.Pp
+.Em Enabling debugging in sudo.conf
+.Pp
+To enable debug messages, add a
+.Li Debug
+line to
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+with the program set to
+.Pa python_plugin.so .
+For example, to store debug output in
+.Pa /var/log/sudo_python_debug ,
+use a line like the following:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Debug python_plugin.so /var/log/sudo_python_debug \e
+ plugin@trace,c_calls@trace
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The debug options are in the form of multiple
+.Dq subsystem@level
+strings, separated by commas
+.Pq Sq \&, .
+For example to just see the debug output of
+.Fn sudo.debug
+calls, use:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Debug python_plugin.so /var/log/sudo_python_debug plugin@trace
+.Ed
+.Pp
+See
+.Xr sudo_conf @mansectform@
+for more details.
+.Pp
+The most interesting subsystems for Python plugin development are:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Em plugin
+Logs each
+.Fn sudo.debug
+API call.
+.It Em py_calls
+Logs whenever a C function calls into the python module.
+For example, calling the
+.Fn __init__
+function.
+.It Em c_calls
+Logs whenever python calls into a C
+.Nm sudo
+API function.
+.It Em internal
+Logs internal functions of the python language wrapper plugin.
+.It Em sudo_cb
+Logs when
+.Nm sudo
+calls into the python plugin API.
+.It Em load
+Logs python plugin loading / unloading events.
+.El
+.Pp
+You can also specify
+.Dq all
+as the subsystem name to log debug messages for all subsystems.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sudo.debug
+function is defined as:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudo.debug(level, message(s))
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa level
+an integer, use one of the log level constants below
+.It Fa message(s)
+one or more messages to log
+.El
+.Pp
+.Em Available log levels:
+.Bl -column "name in sudo.conf" "Python constant" "only critical messages"
+.It Sy sudo.conf name Ta Sy Python constant Ta Sy description
+.It crit Ta sudo.DEBUG.CRIT Ta only critical messages
+.It err Ta sudo.DEBUG.ERROR Ta
+.It warn Ta sudo.DEBUG.WARN Ta
+.It notice Ta sudo.DEBUG.NOTICE Ta
+.It diag Ta sudo.DEBUG.DIAG Ta
+.It info Ta sudo.DEBUG.INFO Ta
+.It trace Ta sudo.DEBUG.TRACE Ta
+.It debug Ta sudo.DEBUG.DEBUG Ta very extreme verbose debugging
+.El
+.Pp
+.Em Using the logging module
+.Pp
+Alternatively, a plugin can use the built in logging module of Python as well.
+Sudo adds its log handler to the root logger, so by default all output of a
+logger will get forwarded to sudo log system, as it would call sudo.debug.
+.Pp
+The log handler of sudo will map each Python log level of a message to
+the appropriate sudo debug level.
+Note however, that sudo debug system will only get the messages not filtered
+out by the Python loggers.
+For example, the log level of the python logger will be an additional filter
+for the log messages, and is usually very different from what level is set in sudo.conf
+for the sudo debug system.
+.Ss Debug example
+Sudo ships an example debug plugin by default.
+To try it, register it by adding the following lines to
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudo.conf :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin python_io python_plugin.so \e
+ ModulePath=@prefix@/share/doc/sudo/examples/example_debugging.py \e
+ ClassName=DebugDemoPlugin
+
+Debug python_plugin.so \e
+ /var/log/sudo_python_debug plugin@trace,c_calls@trace
+.Ed
+.Ss Option conversion API
+The Python plugin API includes two convenience functions to
+convert options in
+.Dq key=value
+format to a dictionary and vice versa.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It options_as_dict
+.Bd -literal -compact
+options_as_dict(options)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa options
+An iterable (tuple, list, etc.) of strings, each in
+.Dq key=value
+format.
+This is how the plugin API passes options and settings to a Python plugin.
+.El
+.Pp
+The function returns the resulting dictionary.
+Each string of the passed in
+.Fa options
+will be split at the first equal sign
+.Pq Sq \&=
+into a
+.Em key
+and
+.Em value .
+Dictionary keys will never contain this symbol (but values may).
+.It options_from_dict
+.Bd -literal -compact
+options_from_dict(options_dict)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The function arguments are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fa options_dict
+A dictionary where both the key and the value are strings.
+Note that the key should not contain an equal sign
+.Pq Sq \&= ,
+otherwise the resulting string will have a different meaning.
+However, this is not currently enforced.
+.El
+.Pp
+The function returns a tuple containing the strings in
+.Dq key=value
+form for each key and value in the
+.Fa options_dict
+dictionary passed in.
+This is how the plugin API accepts options and settings.
+.El
+.Sh PLUGIN API CHANGELOG (Python)
+None yet
+.Sh LIMITATIONS
+Only a maximum number of 8 python I/O plugins can be loaded at once.
+If
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudo.conf
+contains more, those will be rejected with a warning message.
+.Pp
+The Event API and the hook function API is currently not accessible for Python plugins.

+over the years; this version consists of code written primarily by:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.An Todd C. Miller
+.Ed
+.Pp
+See the CONTRIBUTORS file in the
+.Nm sudo
+distribution (https://www.sudo.ws/contributors.html) for an

+.Nm sudo .
+.Sh BUGS
+Python plugin support is currently considered experimental.
+.Pp
+If you feel you have found a bug in
+.Nm sudo ,
+please submit a bug report at https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/
+.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+All Python plugin handling is implemented inside the
+.Li python_plugin.so
+dynamic plugin.
+Therefore, if no Python plugin is registered in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+or the
+.Em sudoers
+file,
+.Nm sudo
+will not load the Python interpreter or the Python libraries.
+.Pp
+By default, a Python plugin can only import Python modules which are
+owned by
+.Em root
+and are only writable by the owner.
+The reason for this is to prevent a file getting imported accidentally
+which is modifiable by a non-root user.
+As
+.Nm sudo
+plugins run as
+.Em root ,
+accidentally importing such file would make it possible for any user
+(having write access) to execute any code with administrative rights.
+.Pp
+However, during development of a plugin this might not be very convenient.
+The
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+.Li developer_mode
+option can be used to disable it.
+For example:
+.Dl Set developer_mode true
+.Pp
+Please note that this creates a security risk, so it is not recommended
+on critical systems such as a desktop machine for daily use, but is intended
+to be used in development environments (VM, container, etc).
+Before enabling developer mode, ensure you understand the implications.

+\- sudo LDAP configuration
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+In addition to the standard
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file,
+\fBsudo\fR
+may be configured
+via LDAP.
+This can be especially useful for synchronizing
+\fIsudoers\fR
+in a large, distributed environment.
+.PP
+Using LDAP for
+\fIsudoers\fR
+has several benefits:
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+\fBsudo\fR
+no longer needs to read
+\fIsudoers\fR
+in its entirety.
+When LDAP is used, there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.
+This makes it especially fast and particularly usable in LDAP environments.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+\fBsudo\fR
+no longer exits if there is a typo in
+\fIsudoers\fR.
+It is not possible to load LDAP data into the server that does
+not conform to the sudoers schema, so proper syntax is guaranteed.
+It is still possible to have typos in a user or host name, but
+this will not prevent
+\fBsudo\fR
+from running.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global
+default options.
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
+only supports default options and limited options associated with
+user/host/commands/aliases.
+The syntax is complicated and can be difficult for users to understand.
+Placing the options directly in the entry is more natural.
+.TP 3n
+\fB\(bu\fR
+The
+\fBvisudo\fR
+program is no longer needed.
+\fBvisudo\fR
+provides locking and syntax checking of the
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
+file.
+Since LDAP updates are atomic, locking is no longer necessary.
+Because syntax is checked when the data is inserted into LDAP, there
+is no need for a specialized tool to check syntax.
+.SS "SUDOers LDAP container"
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+configuration is contained in the
+\fRou=SUDOers\fR
+LDAP container.
+.PP
+Sudo first looks for the
+\fRcn=defaults\fR
+entry in the SUDOers container.
+If found, the multi-valued
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+attribute is parsed in the same manner as a global
+\fRDefaults\fR
+line in
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR.
+In the following example, the
+\fRSSH_AUTH_SOCK\fR
+variable will be preserved in the environment for all users.

+The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a
+\fRsudoRole\fR.
+It consists of the following attributes:
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoUser\fR
+A user name, user-ID (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq),
+Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+\(oq%\(cq
+or
+\(oq%#\(cq
+respectively), user netgroup (prefixed with
+\(oq+\(cq),
+or non-Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+\(oq%:\(cq
+or
+\(oq%:#\(cq
+respectively).
+User netgroups are matched using the user and domain members only;
+the host member is not used when matching.
+Non-Unix group support is only available when an appropriate
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR
+is defined in the global
+\fIdefaults\fR
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+object.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoHost\fR
+A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed with a
+\(oq+\(cq).
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any host.
+Host netgroups are matched using the host (both qualified and unqualified)
+and domain members only; the user member is not used when matching.
+If a
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+and the entry matches, the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+Negated
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.18 or higher.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoCommand\fR
+A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line arguments,
+potentially including globbing characters (aka wild cards).
+If a command name is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+the user will be prohibited from running that command.
+.sp
+The built-in command
+\(lq\fRsudoedit\fR\(rq
+is used to permit a user to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+with the
+\fB\-e\fR
+option (or as
+\fBsudoedit\fR).
+It may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Note that
+\(lq\fRsudoedit\fR\(rq
+is a command built into
+\fBsudo\fR
+itself and must be specified in without a leading path.
+.sp
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any command.

+If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will
+only be allowed if the digest matches.
+This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
+\fBsudo\fR
+has write access to the command or its parent directory.
+The following digest formats are supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.
+The digest name must be followed by a colon
+(\(oq:\&\(cq)
+and then the actual digest, in either hex or base64 format.
+For example, given the following value for sudoCommand:

+\fBsudoOption\fR
+Identical in function to the global options described above, but
+specific to the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoRunAsUser\fR
+A user name or uid (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq)
+that commands may be run as or a Unix group (prefixed with a
+\(oq%\(cq)
+or user netgroup (prefixed with a
+\(oq+\(cq)

+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+\(oq\&!\(cq,
+and the entry matches, the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+If
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+is specified but empty, it will match the invoking user.
+If neither
+\fRsudoRunAsUser\fR
+nor
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+are present, the value of the
+\fIrunas_default\fR
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+is used (defaults to

+\fBsudoRunAsGroup\fR
+A Unix group or gid (prefixed with
+\(oq#\(cq)
+that commands may be run as.
+The special value
+\fRALL\fR
+will match any group.
+If a
+\fRsudoRunAsGroup\fR

+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoNotBefore\fR
+A timestamp in the form
+\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
+that can be used to provide a start date/time for when the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+will be valid.
+If multiple
+\fRsudoNotBefore\fR
+entries are present, the earliest is used.
+Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
+not the local timezone.
+The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
+require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
+.sp
+The

+\fRyyyymmddHHMMSSZ\fR
+that indicates an expiration date/time, after which the
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+will no longer be valid.

+\fRsudoNotAfter\fR
+entries are present, the last one is used.

+\fI@ldap_conf@\fR.
+.TP 6n
+\fBsudoOrder\fR
+The
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no inherent order.
+The
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is an integer (or floating point value for LDAP servers
+that support it) that is used to sort the matching entries.
+This allows LDAP-based sudoers entries to more closely mimic the behavior
+of the sudoers file, where the order of the entries influences the result.
+If multiple entries match, the entry with the highest
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is chosen.
+This corresponds to the
+\(lqlast match\(rq
+behavior of the sudoers file.
+If the
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is not present, a value of 0 is assumed.
+.sp
+The
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute is only available in
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions 1.7.5 and higher.
+.PP
+Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there
+may be multiple instances of each attribute type.
+A
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+must contain at least one
+\fRsudoUser\fR,
+\fRsudoHost\fR
+and
+\fRsudoCommand\fR.

+The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command
+on any host via

+sudoCommand: ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.SS "Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup"
+When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three
+LDAP queries per invocation.
+The first query is to parse the global options.
+The second is to match against the user's name and the groups that
+the user belongs to.
+(The special
+\fRALL\fR
+tag is matched in this query too.)
+If no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third
+query returns all entries containing user netgroups and other
+non-Unix groups and checks to see if the user belongs to any of them.
+.PP
+If timed entries are enabled with the
+\fBSUDOERS_TIMED\fR
+configuration directive, the LDAP queries include a sub-filter that
+limits retrieval to entries that satisfy the time constraints, if any.
+.PP
+If the
+\fBNETGROUP_BASE\fR
+configuration directive is present (see
+\fIConfiguring ldap.conf\fR
+below), queries are performed to determine
+the list of netgroups the user belongs to before the sudoers query.
+This makes it possible to include netgroups in the sudoers query
+string in the same manner as Unix groups.
+The third query mentioned above is not performed unless a group provider
+plugin is also configured.
+The actual LDAP queries performed by
+\fBsudo\fR
+are as follows:
+.TP 5n
+1.\&
+Match all
+\fRnisNetgroup\fR
+records with a
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR
+containing the user, host and NIS domain.
+The query will match
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR
+entries with either the short or long form of the host name or
+no host name specified in the tuple.
+If the NIS domain is set, the query will match only match entries
+that include the domain or for which there is no domain present.
+If the NIS domain is
+\fInot\fR
+set, a wildcard is used to match any domain name but be aware that the
+NIS schema used by some LDAP servers may not support wild cards for
+\fRnisNetgroupTriple\fR.
+.TP 5n
+2.\&
+Repeated queries are performed to find any nested
+\fRnisNetgroup\fR
+records with a
+\fRmemberNisNetgroup\fR
+entry that refers to an already-matched record.
+.PP
+For sites with a large number of netgroups, using
+\fBNETGROUP_BASE\fR
+can significantly speed up
+\fBsudo\fR's
+execution time.
+.SS "Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers"
+One of the major differences between LDAP and file-based
+\fIsudoers\fR
+is that in LDAP,
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+Aliases are not supported.
+.PP
+For the most part, there is little need for
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+Aliases.
+Unix groups, non-Unix groups (via the
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR)
+or user netgroups can be used in place of User_Aliases and Runas_Aliases.
+Host netgroups can be used in place of Host_Aliases.
+Since groups and netgroups can also be stored in LDAP there is no real need for
+\fBsudo\fR-specific
+aliases.
+.PP
+There are also some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled
+once in LDAP.
+Probably the biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP ordering
+is arbitrary and you cannot expect that Attributes and Entries are
+returned in any specific order.
+.PP
+The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled
+using the
+\fRsudoOrder\fR
+attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of attributes
+within a specific entry.
+If there are conflicting command rules in an entry, the negative
+takes precedence.
+This is called paranoid behavior (not necessarily the most specific
+match).
+.PP
+Here is an example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+# /etc/sudoers:
+# Allow all commands except shell
+johnny ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
+# Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
+puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL
+
+# LDAP equivalent of johnny
+# Allows all commands except shell
+dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role1
+sudoUser: johnny
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+
+# LDAP equivalent of puddles
+# Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
+# role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
+dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role2
+sudoUser: puddles
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+sudoCommand: ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Another difference is that it is not possible to use negation in a
+sudoUser, sudoRunAsUser or sudoRunAsGroup attribute.
+For example, the following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, does not match anyone
+sudoUser: !joe
+
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, matches everyone including Joe
+sudoUser: ALL
+sudoUser: !joe

+.SS "Converting between file-based and LDAP sudoers"
+The
+cvtsudoers(1)
+utility can be used to convert between file-based and LDAP
+\fIsudoers\fR.
+However, there are features in the file-based sudoers that have
+no equivalent in LDAP-based sudoers (and vice versa).
+These cannot be converted automatically.
+.PP
+For example, a Cmnd_Alias in a
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file may be converted to a
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+that contains multiple commands.
+Multiple users and/or groups may be assigned to the
+\fRsudoRole\fR.
+.PP
+Also, host, user, runas and command-based
+\fRDefaults\fR
+entries are not supported.
+However, a
+\fRsudoRole\fR
+may contain one or more
+\fRsudoOption\fR
+attributes which can often serve the same purpose.
+.PP
+Consider the following
+\fIsudoers\fR
+lines:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+Cmnd_Alias PAGERS = /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/pg, /usr/bin/less
+Defaults!PAGERS noexec
+alice, bob ALL = ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In this example, alice and bob are allowed to run all commands, but
+the commands listed in PAGERS will have the noexec flag set,
+preventing shell escapes.
+.PP
+When converting this to LDAP, two sudoRole objects can be used:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+dn: cn=PAGERS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: PAGERS
+sudoUser: alice

+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: ADMINS
+sudoUser: alice
+sudoUser: bob
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoOrder: 100
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In the LDAP version, the sudoOrder attribute is used to guarantee
+that the PAGERS sudoRole with
+\fInoexec\fR
+has precedence.
+Unlike the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+version, the LDAP version requires that all users for whom the restriction
+should apply be assigned to the PAGERS sudoRole.
+Using a Unix group or netgroup in PAGERS rather than listing each
+user would make this easier to maintain.
+.PP
+Per-user
+\fRDefaults\fR
+entries can be emulated by using one or more sudoOption attributes
+in a sudoRole.
+Consider the following
+\fIsudoers\fR
+lines:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+User_Alias ADMINS = john, sally
+Defaults:ADMINS !authenticate
+ADMINS ALL = (ALL:ALL) ALL
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+In this example, john and sally are allowed to run any command

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudoers.ldap
+.Nd sudo LDAP configuration
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+In addition to the standard
+.Em sudoers
+file,
+.Nm sudo
+may be configured
+via LDAP.
+This can be especially useful for synchronizing
+.Em sudoers
+in a large, distributed environment.
+.Pp
+Using LDAP for
+.Em sudoers
+has several benefits:
+.Bl -bullet -width 1n
+.It
+.Nm sudo
+no longer needs to read
+.Em sudoers
+in its entirety.
+When LDAP is used, there are only two or three LDAP queries per invocation.
+This makes it especially fast and particularly usable in LDAP environments.
+.It
+.Nm sudo
+no longer exits if there is a typo in
+.Em sudoers .
+It is not possible to load LDAP data into the server that does
+not conform to the sudoers schema, so proper syntax is guaranteed.
+It is still possible to have typos in a user or host name, but
+this will not prevent
+.Nm sudo
+from running.
+.It
+It is possible to specify per-entry options that override the global
+default options.
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+only supports default options and limited options associated with
+user/host/commands/aliases.
+The syntax is complicated and can be difficult for users to understand.
+Placing the options directly in the entry is more natural.
+.It
+The
+.Nm visudo
+program is no longer needed.
+.Nm visudo
+provides locking and syntax checking of the
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+file.
+Since LDAP updates are atomic, locking is no longer necessary.
+Because syntax is checked when the data is inserted into LDAP, there
+is no need for a specialized tool to check syntax.
+.El
+.Ss SUDOers LDAP container
+The
+.Em sudoers
+configuration is contained in the
+.Li ou=SUDOers
+LDAP container.
+.Pp
+Sudo first looks for the
+.Li cn=defaults
+entry in the SUDOers container.
+If found, the multi-valued
+.Li sudoOption
+attribute is parsed in the same manner as a global
+.Li Defaults
+line in
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers .
+In the following example, the
+.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+variable will be preserved in the environment for all users.
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+dn: cn=defaults,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: defaults
+description: Default sudoOption's go here
+sudoOption: env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The equivalent of a sudoer in LDAP is a
+.Li sudoRole .
+It consists of the following attributes:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Sy sudoUser
+A user name, user-ID (prefixed with
+.Ql # ) ,
+Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+.Ql %
+or
+.Ql %#
+respectively), user netgroup (prefixed with
+.Ql + ) ,
+or non-Unix group name or ID (prefixed with
+.Ql %:
+or
+.Ql %:#
+respectively).
+User netgroups are matched using the user and domain members only;
+the host member is not used when matching.
+Non-Unix group support is only available when an appropriate
+.Em group_plugin
+is defined in the global
+.Em defaults
+.Li sudoRole
+object.
+.It Sy sudoHost
+A host name, IP address, IP network, or host netgroup (prefixed with a
+.Ql + ) .
+The special value
+.Li ALL
+will match any host.
+Host netgroups are matched using the host (both qualified and unqualified)
+and domain members only; the user member is not used when matching.
+If a
+.Li sudoHost
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+.Ql \&! ,
+and the entry matches, the
+.Li sudoRole
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+Negated
+.Li sudoHost
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.18 or higher.
+.It Sy sudoCommand
+A fully-qualified Unix command name with optional command line arguments,
+potentially including globbing characters (aka wild cards).
+If a command name is preceded by an exclamation point,
+.Ql \&! ,
+the user will be prohibited from running that command.
+.Pp
+The built-in command
+.Dq Li sudoedit
+is used to permit a user to run
+.Nm sudo
+with the
+.Fl e
+option (or as
+.Nm sudoedit ) .
+It may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Note that
+.Dq Li sudoedit
+is a command built into
+.Nm sudo
+itself and must be specified in without a leading path.
+.Pp
+The special value
+.Li ALL
+will match any command.
+.Pp
+If a command name is prefixed with a SHA-2 digest, it will
+only be allowed if the digest matches.
+This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
+.Nm sudo
+has write access to the command or its parent directory.
+The following digest formats are supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.
+The digest name must be followed by a colon
+.Pq Ql :\&
+and then the actual digest, in either hex or base64 format.
+For example, given the following value for sudoCommand:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sha224:0GomF8mNN3wlDt1HD9XldjJ3SNgpFdbjO1+NsQ /bin/ls
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The user may only run
+.Pa /bin/ls
+if its sha224 digest matches the specified value.
+Command digests are only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
+.It Sy sudoOption
+Identical in function to the global options described above, but
+specific to the
+.Li sudoRole
+in which it resides.
+.It Sy sudoRunAsUser
+A user name or uid (prefixed with
+.Ql # )
+that commands may be run as or a Unix group (prefixed with a
+.Ql % )
+or user netgroup (prefixed with a
+.Ql + )
+that contains a list of users that commands may be run as.
+The special value
+.Li ALL
+will match any user.
+If a
+.Li sudoRunAsUser
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+.Ql \&! ,
+and the entry matches, the
+.Li sudoRole
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+If
+.Li sudoRunAsUser
+is specified but empty, it will match the invoking user.
+If neither
+.Li sudoRunAsUser
+nor
+.Li sudoRunAsGroup
+are present, the value of the
+.Em runas_default
+.Li sudoOption
+is used (defaults to
+.Li @runas_default@ ) .
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoRunAsUser
+attribute is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+versions
+1.7.0 and higher.
+Older versions of
+.Nm sudo
+use the
+.Li sudoRunAs
+attribute instead.
+Negated
+.Li sudoRunAsUser
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.26 or higher.
+.It Sy sudoRunAsGroup
+A Unix group or gid (prefixed with
+.Ql # )
+that commands may be run as.
+The special value
+.Li ALL
+will match any group.
+If a
+.Li sudoRunAsGroup
+entry is preceded by an exclamation point,
+.Ql \&! ,
+and the entry matches, the
+.Li sudoRole
+in which it resides will be ignored.
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoRunAsGroup
+attribute is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+versions
+1.7.0 and higher.
+Negated
+.Li sudoRunAsGroup
+entries are only supported by version 1.8.26 or higher.
+.It Sy sudoNotBefore
+A timestamp in the form
+.Li yyyymmddHHMMSSZ
+that can be used to provide a start date/time for when the
+.Li sudoRole
+will be valid.
+If multiple
+.Li sudoNotBefore
+entries are present, the earliest is used.
+Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
+not the local timezone.
+The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
+require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoNotBefore
+attribute is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+versions 1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
+.Sy SUDOERS_TIMED
+option in
+.Pa @ldap_conf@ .
+.It Sy sudoNotAfter
+A timestamp in the form
+.Li yyyymmddHHMMSSZ
+that indicates an expiration date/time, after which the
+.Li sudoRole
+will no longer be valid.
+If multiple
+.Li sudoNotAfter
+entries are present, the last one is used.
+Note that timestamps must be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
+not the local timezone.
+The minute and seconds portions are optional, but some LDAP servers
+require that they be present (contrary to the RFC).
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoNotAfter
+attribute is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+versions
+1.7.5 and higher and must be explicitly enabled via the
+.Sy SUDOERS_TIMED
+option in
+.Pa @ldap_conf@ .
+.It Sy sudoOrder
+The
+.Li sudoRole
+entries retrieved from the LDAP directory have no inherent order.
+The
+.Li sudoOrder
+attribute is an integer (or floating point value for LDAP servers
+that support it) that is used to sort the matching entries.
+This allows LDAP-based sudoers entries to more closely mimic the behavior
+of the sudoers file, where the order of the entries influences the result.
+If multiple entries match, the entry with the highest
+.Li sudoOrder
+attribute is chosen.
+This corresponds to the
+.Dq last match
+behavior of the sudoers file.
+If the
+.Li sudoOrder
+attribute is not present, a value of 0 is assumed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Li sudoOrder
+attribute is only available in
+.Nm sudo
+versions 1.7.5 and higher.
+.El
+.Pp
+Each attribute listed above should contain a single value, but there
+may be multiple instances of each attribute type.
+A
+.Li sudoRole
+must contain at least one
+.Li sudoUser ,
+.Li sudoHost
+and
+.Li sudoCommand .
+.Pp
+The following example allows users in group wheel to run any command
+on any host via
+.Nm sudo :
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+dn: cn=%wheel,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: %wheel
+sudoUser: %wheel
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+.Ed
+.Ss Anatomy of LDAP sudoers lookup
+When looking up a sudoer using LDAP there are only two or three
+LDAP queries per invocation.
+The first query is to parse the global options.
+The second is to match against the user's name and the groups that
+the user belongs to.
+(The special
+.Li ALL
+tag is matched in this query too.)
+If no match is returned for the user's name and groups, a third
+query returns all entries containing user netgroups and other
+non-Unix groups and checks to see if the user belongs to any of them.
+.Pp
+If timed entries are enabled with the
+.Sy SUDOERS_TIMED
+configuration directive, the LDAP queries include a sub-filter that
+limits retrieval to entries that satisfy the time constraints, if any.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Sy NETGROUP_BASE
+configuration directive is present (see
+.Sx Configuring ldap.conf
+below), queries are performed to determine
+the list of netgroups the user belongs to before the sudoers query.
+This makes it possible to include netgroups in the sudoers query
+string in the same manner as Unix groups.
+The third query mentioned above is not performed unless a group provider
+plugin is also configured.
+The actual LDAP queries performed by
+.Nm sudo
+are as follows:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+Match all
+.Li nisNetgroup
+records with a
+.Li nisNetgroupTriple
+containing the user, host and NIS domain.
+The query will match
+.Li nisNetgroupTriple
+entries with either the short or long form of the host name or
+no host name specified in the tuple.
+If the NIS domain is set, the query will match only match entries
+that include the domain or for which there is no domain present.
+If the NIS domain is
+.Em not
+set, a wildcard is used to match any domain name but be aware that the
+NIS schema used by some LDAP servers may not support wild cards for
+.Li nisNetgroupTriple .
+.It
+Repeated queries are performed to find any nested
+.Li nisNetgroup
+records with a
+.Li memberNisNetgroup
+entry that refers to an already-matched record.
+.El
+.Pp
+For sites with a large number of netgroups, using
+.Sy NETGROUP_BASE
+can significantly speed up
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+execution time.
+.Ss Differences between LDAP and non-LDAP sudoers
+One of the major differences between LDAP and file-based
+.Em sudoers
+is that in LDAP,
+.Nm sudo Ns -specific
+Aliases are not supported.
+.Pp
+For the most part, there is little need for
+.Nm sudo Ns -specific
+Aliases.
+Unix groups, non-Unix groups (via the
+.Em group_plugin )
+or user netgroups can be used in place of User_Aliases and Runas_Aliases.
+Host netgroups can be used in place of Host_Aliases.
+Since groups and netgroups can also be stored in LDAP there is no real need for
+.Nm sudo Ns -specific
+aliases.
+.Pp
+There are also some subtle differences in the way sudoers is handled
+once in LDAP.
+Probably the biggest is that according to the RFC, LDAP ordering
+is arbitrary and you cannot expect that Attributes and Entries are
+returned in any specific order.
+.Pp
+The order in which different entries are applied can be controlled
+using the
+.Li sudoOrder
+attribute, but there is no way to guarantee the order of attributes
+within a specific entry.
+If there are conflicting command rules in an entry, the negative
+takes precedence.
+This is called paranoid behavior (not necessarily the most specific
+match).
+.Pp
+Here is an example:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+# /etc/sudoers:
+# Allow all commands except shell
+johnny ALL=(root) ALL,!/bin/sh
+# Always allows all commands because ALL is matched last
+puddles ALL=(root) !/bin/sh,ALL
+
+# LDAP equivalent of johnny
+# Allows all commands except shell
+dn: cn=role1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role1
+sudoUser: johnny
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+
+# LDAP equivalent of puddles
+# Notice that even though ALL comes last, it still behaves like
+# role1 since the LDAP code assumes the more paranoid configuration
+dn: cn=role2,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: sudoRole
+objectClass: top
+cn: role2
+sudoUser: puddles
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: !/bin/sh
+sudoCommand: ALL
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Another difference is that it is not possible to use negation in a
+sudoUser, sudoRunAsUser or sudoRunAsGroup attribute.
+For example, the following attributes do not behave the way one might expect.
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, does not match anyone
+sudoUser: !joe
+
+# does not match all but joe
+# rather, matches everyone including Joe
+sudoUser: ALL
+sudoUser: !joe
+.Ed
+.Ss Converting between file-based and LDAP sudoers
+The
+.Xr cvtsudoers 1
+utility can be used to convert between file-based and LDAP
+.Em sudoers .
+However, there are features in the file-based sudoers that have
+no equivalent in LDAP-based sudoers (and vice versa).
+These cannot be converted automatically.
+.Pp
+For example, a Cmnd_Alias in a
+.Em sudoers
+file may be converted to a
+.Li sudoRole
+that contains multiple commands.
+Multiple users and/or groups may be assigned to the
+.Li sudoRole .
+.Pp
+Also, host, user, runas and command-based
+.Li Defaults
+entries are not supported.
+However, a
+.Li sudoRole
+may contain one or more
+.Li sudoOption
+attributes which can often serve the same purpose.
+.Pp
+Consider the following
+.Em sudoers
+lines:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+Cmnd_Alias PAGERS = /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/pg, /usr/bin/less
+Defaults!PAGERS noexec
+alice, bob ALL = ALL
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In this example, alice and bob are allowed to run all commands, but
+the commands listed in PAGERS will have the noexec flag set,
+preventing shell escapes.
+.Pp
+When converting this to LDAP, two sudoRole objects can be used:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+dn: cn=PAGERS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: PAGERS
+sudoUser: alice
+sudoUser: bob
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/more
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/pg
+sudoCommand: /usr/bin/less
+sudoOption: noexec
+sudoOrder: 900
+
+dn: cn=ADMINS,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: ADMINS
+sudoUser: alice
+sudoUser: bob
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoOrder: 100
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In the LDAP version, the sudoOrder attribute is used to guarantee
+that the PAGERS sudoRole with
+.Em noexec
+has precedence.
+Unlike the
+.Em sudoers
+version, the LDAP version requires that all users for whom the restriction
+should apply be assigned to the PAGERS sudoRole.
+Using a Unix group or netgroup in PAGERS rather than listing each
+user would make this easier to maintain.
+.Pp
+Per-user
+.Li Defaults
+entries can be emulated by using one or more sudoOption attributes
+in a sudoRole.
+Consider the following
+.Em sudoers
+lines:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+User_Alias ADMINS = john, sally
+Defaults:ADMINS !authenticate
+ADMINS ALL = (ALL:ALL) ALL
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In this example, john and sally are allowed to run any command
+as any user or group.
+.Pp
+When converting this to LDAP, we can use a Unix group instead
+of the User_Alias.
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+dn: cn=admins,ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: sudoRole
+cn: admins
+sudoUser: %admin
+sudoHost: ALL
+sudoRunAsUser: ALL
+sudoRunAsGroup: ALL
+sudoCommand: ALL
+sudoOption: !authenticate
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This assumes that users john and sally are members of the
+.Dq admins
+Unix group.
+.Ss Sudoers schema
+In order to use
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+LDAP support, the
+.Nm sudo
+schema must be
+installed on your LDAP server.
+In addition, be sure to index the
+.Li sudoUser
+attribute.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm sudo
+distribution includes versions of the
+.Nm sudoers
+schema for multiple LDAP servers:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Pa schema.OpenLDAP
+OpenLDAP slapd and
+.Ox
+ldapd
+.It Pa schema.olcSudo
+OpenLDAP slapd 2.3 and higher when on-line configuration is enabled
+.It Pa schema.iPlanet
+Netscape-derived servers such as the iPlanet, Oracle,
+and 389 Directory Servers
+.It Pa schema.ActiveDirectory
+Microsoft Active Directory
+.El
+.Pp
+The schema in OpenLDAP format is also included in the
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+section.
+.Ss Configuring ldap.conf
+Sudo reads the
+.Pa @ldap_conf@
+file for LDAP-specific configuration.
+Typically, this file is shared between different LDAP-aware clients.
+As such, most of the settings are not
+.Nm sudo Ns -specific.
+Note that
+.Nm sudo
+parses
+.Pa @ldap_conf@
+itself and may support options that differ from those described in the
+system's
+.Xr ldap.conf @mansectform@
+manual.
+The path to
+.Pa ldap.conf
+may be overridden via the
+.Em ldap_conf
+plugin argument in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+Also note that on systems using the OpenLDAP libraries, default
+values specified in
+.Pa /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
+or the user's
+.Pa .ldaprc
+files are not used.
+.Pp
+.Nm sudo
+supports a variety of LDAP library implementations, including
+OpenLDAP, Netscape-derived (also used by Solaris and HP-UX), and
+IBM LDAP (aka Tivoli).
+Some options are specific to certain LDAP implementations or have
+implementation-specific behavior.
+These differences are noted below where applicable.
+.Pp
+Only those options explicitly listed in
+.Pa @ldap_conf@
+as being supported by
+.Nm sudo
+are honored.
+Configuration options are listed below in upper case but are parsed
+in a case-independent manner.
+.Pp
+Lines beginning with a pound sign
+.Pq Ql #
+are ignored.
+Leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Sy BIND_TIMELIMIT Ar seconds
+The
+.Sy BIND_TIMELIMIT
+parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait while trying
+to connect to an LDAP server.
+If multiple
+.Sy URI Ns s
+or
+.Sy HOST Ns s
+are specified, this is the amount of time to wait before trying
+the next one in the list.
+.It Sy BINDDN Ar DN
+The
+.Sy BINDDN
+parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN),
+to use when performing LDAP operations.
+If not specified, LDAP operations are performed with an anonymous identity.
+By default, most LDAP servers will allow anonymous access.
+.It Sy BINDPW Ar secret
+The
+.Sy BINDPW
+parameter specifies the password to use when performing LDAP operations.
+This is typically used in conjunction with the
+.Sy BINDDN
+parameter.
+The
+.Ar secret
+may be a plain text password or a base64-encoded string with a
+.Dq base64:
+prefix.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+BINDPW base64:dGVzdA==
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If a plain text password is used, it should be a simple string without quotes.
+Plain text passwords may not include the comment character
+.Pq Ql #
+and the escaping of special characters with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+is not supported.
+.It Sy DEREF Ar never/searching/finding/always
+How alias dereferencing is to be performed when searching.
+See the
+.Xr ldap.conf @mansectform@
+manual for a full description of this option.
+.It Sy HOST Ar name[:port] ...
+If no
+.Sy URI
+is specified (see below), the
+.Sy HOST
+parameter specifies a white space-delimited list of LDAP servers to connect to.
+Each host may include an optional
+.Em port
+separated by a colon
+.Pq Ql :\& .
+The
+.Sy HOST
+parameter is deprecated in favor of the
+.Sy URI
+specification and is included for backward compatibility only.
+.It Sy KRB5_CCNAME Ar file name
+The path to the Kerberos 5 credential cache to use when authenticating
+with the remote server.
+.Pp
+This option is only relevant when using SASL authentication (see below).
+.It Sy LDAP_VERSION Ar number
+The version of the LDAP protocol to use when connecting to the server.
+The default value is protocol version 3.
+.It Sy NETGROUP_BASE Ar base
+The base DN to use when performing LDAP netgroup queries.
+Typically this is of the form
+.Li ou=netgroup,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+for the domain
+.Li my-domain.com .
+Multiple
+.Sy NETGROUP_BASE
+lines may be specified, in which case they are queried in the order specified.
+.Pp
+This option can be used to query a user's netgroups directly via LDAP
+which is usually faster than fetching every
+.Li sudoRole
+object containing a
+.Li sudoUser
+that begins with a
+.Ql +
+prefix.
+The NIS schema used by some LDAP servers need a modification to
+support querying the
+.Li nisNetgroup
+object by its
+.Li nisNetgroupTriple
+member.
+OpenLDAP's
+.Sy slapd
+requires the following change to the
+.Li nisNetgroupTriple

+.It Sy NETGROUP_SEARCH_FILTER Ar ldap_filter
+An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records returned
+when performing an LDAP netgroup query.
+Typically, this is of the
+form
+.Li attribute=value
+or
+.Li (&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2)) .
+The default search filter is:
+.Li objectClass=nisNetgroup .
+If
+.Ar ldap_filter
+is omitted, no search filter will be used.
+.Pp
+This option is only used when querying netgroups directly via LDAP.
+.It Sy NETWORK_TIMEOUT Ar seconds
+An alias for
+.Sy BIND_TIMELIMIT
+provided for OpenLDAP compatibility.
+.It Sy PORT Ar port_number
+If no
+.Sy URI
+is specified, the
+.Sy PORT
+parameter specifies the default port to connect to on the LDAP server if a
+.Sy HOST
+parameter does not specify the port itself.
+If no
+.Sy PORT
+parameter is used, the default is port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for LDAP
+over TLS (SSL).
+The
+.Sy PORT
+parameter is deprecated in favor of the
+.Sy URI
+specification and is included for backward compatibility only.
+.It Sy ROOTBINDDN Ar DN
+The
+.Sy ROOTBINDDN
+parameter specifies the identity, in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN),
+to use when performing privileged LDAP operations, such as
+.Em sudoers
+queries.
+The password corresponding to the identity should be stored in the
+or the path specified by the
+.Em ldap_secret
+plugin argument in
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ ,
+which defaults to
+.Pa @ldap_secret@ .
+If no
+.Sy ROOTBINDDN
+is specified, the
+.Sy BINDDN
+identity is used (if any).
+.It Sy ROOTUSE_SASL Ar on/true/yes/off/false/no
+Enable
+.Sy ROOTUSE_SASL
+to enable SASL authentication when connecting
+to an LDAP server from a privileged process, such as
+.Nm sudo .
+.It Sy SASL_AUTH_ID Ar identity
+The SASL user name to use when connecting to the LDAP server.
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will use an anonymous connection.
+.Pp
+This option is only relevant when using SASL authentication.
+.It Sy SASL_MECH Ar mechanisms
+A white space-delimited list of SASL authentication mechanisms to use.
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will use
+.Dv GSSAPI
+authentication.
+.It Sy SASL_SECPROPS Ar none/properties
+SASL security properties or
+.Em none
+for no properties.
+See the SASL programmer's manual for details.
+.Pp
+This option is only relevant when using SASL authentication.
+.It Sy SSL Ar on/true/yes/off/false/no
+If the
+.Sy SSL
+parameter is set to
+.Li on ,
+.Li true
+.Li or
+.Li yes ,
+TLS (SSL) encryption is always used when communicating with the LDAP server.
+Typically, this involves connecting to the server on port 636 (ldaps).
+.It Sy SSL Ar start_tls
+If the
+.Sy SSL
+parameter is set to
+.Li start_tls ,
+the LDAP server connection is initiated normally and TLS encryption is
+begun before the bind credentials are sent.
+This has the advantage of not requiring a dedicated port for encrypted
+communications.
+This parameter is only supported by LDAP servers that honor the
+.Em start_tls
+extension, such as the OpenLDAP and IBM Tivoli Directory servers.
+.It Sy SUDOERS_BASE Ar base
+The base DN to use when performing
+.Nm sudo
+LDAP queries.
+Typically this is of the form
+.Li ou=SUDOers,dc=my-domain,dc=com
+for the domain
+.Li my-domain.com .
+Multiple
+.Sy SUDOERS_BASE
+lines may be specified, in which case they are queried in the order specified.
+.It Sy SUDOERS_DEBUG Ar debug_level
+This sets the debug level for
+.Nm sudo
+LDAP queries.
+Debugging information is printed to the standard error.
+A value of 1 results in a moderate amount of debugging information.
+A value of 2 shows the results of the matches themselves.
+This parameter should not be set in a production environment as the
+extra information is likely to confuse users.
+.Pp
+The
+.Sy SUDOERS_DEBUG
+parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+The same information is now logged via the
+.Nm sudo
+debugging framework using the
+.Dq ldap
+subsystem at priorities
+.Em diag
+and
+.Em info
+for
+.Em debug_level
+values 1 and 2 respectively.
+See the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+manual for details on how to configure
+.Nm sudo
+debugging.
+.It Sy SUDOERS_SEARCH_FILTER Ar ldap_filter
+An LDAP filter which is used to restrict the set of records returned
+when performing a
+.Nm sudo
+LDAP query.
+Typically, this is of the
+form
+.Li attribute=value
+or
+.Li (&(attribute=value)(attribute2=value2)) .
+The default search filter is:
+.Li objectClass=sudoRole .
+If
+.Ar ldap_filter
+is omitted, no search filter will be used.
+.It Sy SUDOERS_TIMED Ar on/true/yes/off/false/no
+Whether or not to evaluate the
+.Li sudoNotBefore
+and
+.Li sudoNotAfter
+attributes that implement time-dependent sudoers entries.
+.It Sy TIMELIMIT Ar seconds
+The
+.Sy TIMELIMIT
+parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a
+response to an LDAP query.
+.It Sy TIMEOUT Ar seconds
+The
+.Sy TIMEOUT
+parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a
+response from the various LDAP APIs.
+.It Sy TLS_CACERT Ar file name
+An alias for
+.Sy TLS_CACERTFILE
+for OpenLDAP compatibility.
+.It Sy TLS_CACERTFILE Ar file name
+The path to a certificate authority bundle which contains the certificates
+for all the Certificate Authorities the client knows to be valid, e.g.,
+.Pa /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem .
+.Pp
+This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
+Netscape-derived LDAP libraries use the same certificate
+database for CA and client certificates (see
+.Sy TLS_CERT ) .
+.It Sy TLS_CACERTDIR Ar directory
+Similar to
+.Sy TLS_CACERTFILE
+but instead of a file, it is a directory containing individual
+Certificate Authority certificates, e.g.,
+.Pa /etc/ssl/certs .
+The directory specified by
+.Sy TLS_CACERTDIR
+is checked after
+.Sy TLS_CACERTFILE .
+.Pp
+This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
+.It Sy TLS_CERT Ar file name
+The path to a file containing the client certificate which can
+be used to authenticate the client to the LDAP server.
+The certificate type depends on the LDAP libraries used.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It OpenLDAP:
+.Li tls_cert /etc/ssl/client_cert.pem
+.It Netscape-derived:
+.Li tls_cert /var/ldap/cert7.db
+.It IBM LDAP:
+Unused, the key database specified by
+.Sy TLS_KEY
+contains both keys and certificates.
+.El
+.Pp
+When using Netscape-derived libraries, this file may also contain
+Certificate Authority certificates.
+.It Sy TLS_CHECKPEER Ar on/true/yes/off/false/no
+If enabled,
+.Sy TLS_CHECKPEER
+will cause the LDAP server's TLS certificated to be verified.
+If the server's TLS certificate cannot be verified (usually because it
+is signed by an unknown certificate authority),
+.Nm sudo
+will be unable to connect to it.
+If
+.Sy TLS_CHECKPEER
+is disabled, no check is made.
+Note that disabling the check creates an opportunity for man-in-the-middle
+attacks since the server's identity will not be authenticated.
+If possible, the CA's certificate should be installed locally so it can
+be verified.
+.Pp
+This option is not supported by the IBM LDAP libraries.
+.It Sy TLS_KEY Ar file name
+The path to a file containing the private key which matches the
+certificate specified by
+.Sy TLS_CERT .
+The private key must not be password-protected.
+The key type depends on the LDAP libraries used.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It OpenLDAP:
+.Li tls_key /etc/ssl/client_key.pem
+.It Netscape-derived:
+.Li tls_key /var/ldap/key3.db
+.It IBM LDAP:
+.Li tls_key /usr/ldap/ldapkey.kdb
+.El
+.Pp
+When using IBM LDAP libraries, this file may also contain
+Certificate Authority and client certificates and may be encrypted.
+.It Sy TLS_CIPHERS Ar cipher list
+The
+.Sy TLS_CIPHERS
+parameter allows the administer to restrict which encryption algorithms
+may be used for TLS (SSL) connections.
+See the OpenLDAP or IBM Tivoli Directory Server manual for a list of valid
+ciphers.
+.Pp
+This option is not supported by Netscape-derived libraries.
+.It Sy TLS_KEYPW Ar secret
+The
+.Sy TLS_KEYPW
+contains the password used to decrypt the key database on clients
+using the IBM LDAP library.
+The
+.Ar secret
+may be a plain text password or a base64-encoded string with a
+.Dq base64:
+prefix.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+TLS_KEYPW base64:dGVzdA==
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If a plain text password is used, it should be a simple string without quotes.
+Plain text passwords may not include the comment character
+.Pq Ql #
+and the escaping of special characters with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+is not supported.
+If this option is used,
+.Pa @ldap_conf@
+must not be world-readable to avoid exposing the password.
+Alternately, a
+.Em stash file
+can be used to store the password in encrypted form (see below).
+.Pp
+If no
+.Sy TLS_KEYPW
+is specified, a
+.Em stash file
+will be used if it exists.
+The
+.Em stash file
+must have the same path as the file specified by
+.Sy TLS_KEY ,
+but use a
+.Li .sth
+file extension instead of
+.Li .kdb ,
+e.g.,
+.Li ldapkey.sth .
+The default
+.Li ldapkey.kdb
+that ships with the IBM Tivoli Directory Server is encrypted with the password
+.Li ssl_password .
+The
+.Em gsk8capicmd
+utility can be used to manage the key database and create a
+.Em stash file .
+.Pp
+This option is only supported by the IBM LDAP libraries.
+.It Sy TLS_REQCERT Ar level
+The
+.Sy TLS_REQCERT
+parameter controls how the LDAP server's TLS certificated will be
+verified (if at all).
+If the server's TLS certificate cannot be verified (usually because it
+is signed by an unknown certificate authority),
+.Nm sudo
+will be unable to connect to it.
+The following
+.Ar level
+values are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset 4n
+.It never
+The server certificate will not be requested or checked.
+.It allow
+The server certificate will be requested.
+A missing or invalid certificate is ignored and not considered an error.
+.It try
+The server certificate will be requested.
+A missing certificate is ignored but an invalid certificate will
+result in a connection error.
+.It demand | Ar hard
+The server certificate will be requested.
+A missing or invalid certificate will result in a connection error.
+This is the default behavior.
+.El
+.Pp
+This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
+Other LDAP libraries only support the
+.Sy TLS_CHECKPEER
+parameter.
+.It Sy TLS_RANDFILE Ar file name
+The
+.Sy TLS_RANDFILE
+parameter specifies the path to an entropy source for systems that lack
+a random device.
+It is generally used in conjunction with
+.Em prngd
+or
+.Em egd .
+.Pp
+This option is only supported by the OpenLDAP libraries.
+.It Sy URI Ar ldap[s]://[hostname[:port]] ...
+Specifies a white space-delimited list of one or more URIs describing
+the LDAP server(s) to connect to.
+The
+.Em protocol
+may be either
+.Em ldap
+.Em ldaps ,
+the latter being for servers that support TLS (SSL) encryption.
+If no
+.Em port
+is specified, the default is port 389 for
+.Li ldap://
+or port 636 for
+.Li ldaps:// .
+If no
+.Em hostname
+is specified,
+.Nm sudo
+will connect to
+.Em localhost .
+Multiple
+.Sy URI
+lines are treated identically to a
+.Sy URI
+line containing multiple entries.
+Only systems using the OpenSSL libraries support the mixing of
+.Li ldap://
+and
+.Li ldaps://
+URIs.
+Both the Netscape-derived and IBM LDAP libraries used on most commercial
+versions of Unix are only capable of supporting one or the other.
+.It Sy USE_SASL Ar on/true/yes/off/false/no
+Enable
+.Sy USE_SASL
+for LDAP servers that support SASL authentication.
+.It Sy ROOTSASL_AUTH_ID Ar identity
+The SASL user name to use when
+.Sy ROOTUSE_SASL
+is enabled.
+.El
+.Pp
+See the
+.Pa ldap.conf
+entry in the
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+section.
+.Ss Configuring nsswitch.conf
+Unless it is disabled at build time,
+.Nm sudo
+consults the Name Service Switch file,
+.Pa @nsswitch_conf@ ,
+to specify the
+.Em sudoers
+search order.
+Sudo looks for a line beginning with
+.Li sudoers :
+and uses this to determine the search order.
+Note that
+.Nm sudo
+does
+not stop searching after the first match and later matches take
+precedence over earlier ones.
+The following sources are recognized:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset 4n -compact
+.It files
+read sudoers from
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+.It ldap
+read sudoers from LDAP
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition, the entry
+.Li [NOTFOUND=return]
+will short-circuit the search if the user was not found in the
+preceding source.
+.Pp
+To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it
+exists), use:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudoers: ldap files
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The local
+.Em sudoers
+file can be ignored completely by using:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudoers: ldap
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If the
+.Pa @nsswitch_conf@
+file is not present or there is no sudoers line, the following
+default is assumed:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudoers: files
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that
+.Pa @nsswitch_conf@
+is supported even when the underlying operating system does not use
+an nsswitch.conf file, except on AIX (see below).
+.Ss Configuring netsvc.conf
+On AIX systems, the
+.Pa @netsvc_conf@
+file is consulted instead of
+.Pa @nsswitch_conf@ .
+.Nm sudo
+simply treats
+.Pa netsvc.conf
+as a variant of
+.Pa nsswitch.conf ;
+information in the previous section unrelated to the file format
+itself still applies.
+.Pp
+To consult LDAP first followed by the local sudoers file (if it

+.Ed
+.Pp
+The local
+.Em sudoers
+file can be ignored completely by using:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudoers = ldap
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To treat LDAP as authoritative and only use the local sudoers file
+if the user is not present in LDAP, use:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+sudoers = ldap = auth, files
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that in the above example, the

+.SH "NAME"
+\fBsudoers\fR
+\- default sudo security policy plugin
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR
+policy plugin determines a user's
+\fBsudo\fR
+privileges.
+It is the default
+\fBsudo\fR
+policy plugin.
+The policy is driven by
+the
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR
+file or, optionally in LDAP.
+The policy format is described in detail in the
+\fISUDOERS FILE FORMAT\fR
+section.
+For information on storing
+\fBsudoers\fR
+policy information
+in LDAP, please see
+sudoers.ldap(@mansectform@).
+.SS "Configuring sudo.conf for sudoers"
+\fBsudo\fR
+consults the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file to determine which policy and I/O logging plugins to load.
+If no
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file is present, or if it contains no
+\fRPlugin\fR
+lines,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will be used for policy decisions and I/O logging.
+To explicitly configure
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+to use the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin, the following configuration can be used.
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_audit sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_io sudoers.so
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Starting with
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.5, it is possible to specify optional arguments to the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+Plugin arguments, if any, should be listed after the path to the plugin
+(i.e., after
+\fIsudoers.so\fR).
+The arguments are only effective for the plugin that opens (and parses) the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.PP
+For
+\fBsudo\fR
+version 1.9.1 and higher, this is the
+\fIsudoers_audit\fR
+plugin.
+For older versions, it is the
+\fIsudoers_policy\fR
+plugin.
+Multiple arguments may be specified, separated by white space.
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_audit sudoers.so sudoers_mode=0400 error_recovery=false
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The following plugin arguments are supported:
+.TP 10n
+error_recovery=bool
+The
+\fIerror_recovery\fR
+argument can be used to control whether
+\fBsudoers\fR
+should attempt to recover from syntax errors in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+If set to
+\fItrue\fR
+(the default),
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will try to recover from a syntax error by discarding the portion
+of the line that contains the error until the end of the line.
+A value of
+\fIfalse\fR
+will disable error recovery.
+Prior to version 1.9.3, no error recovery was performed.
+.TP 10n
+ldap_conf=pathname
+The
+\fIldap_conf\fR
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+\fIldap.conf\fR
+file.
+.TP 10n
+ldap_secret=pathname
+The
+\fIldap_secret\fR
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+\fIldap.secret\fR
+file.
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_file=pathname
+The
+\fIsudoers_file\fR
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_uid=uid
+The
+\fIsudoers_uid\fR
+argument can be used to override the default owner of the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as a numeric user-ID.
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_gid=gid
+The
+\fIsudoers_gid\fR
+argument can be used to override the default group of the sudoers file.
+It must be specified as a numeric group-ID (not a group name).
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_mode=mode
+The
+\fIsudoers_mode\fR
+argument can be used to override the default file mode for the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as an octal value.
+.PP
+For more information on configuring
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@),
+please refer to its manual.
+.SS "User Authentication"
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR
+security policy requires that most users authenticate
+themselves before they can use
+\fBsudo\fR.
+A password is not required
+if the invoking user is root, if the target user is the same as the
+invoking user, or if the policy has disabled authentication for the
+user or command.
+Unlike
+su(1),
+when
+\fBsudoers\fR
+requires
+authentication, it validates the invoking user's credentials, not
+the target user's (or root's) credentials.
+This can be changed via
+the
+\fIrootpw\fR,
+\fItargetpw\fR
+and
+\fIrunaspw\fR
+flags, described later.
+.PP
+If a user who is not listed in the policy tries to run a command
+via
+\fBsudo\fR,
+mail is sent to the proper authorities.
+The address
+used for such mail is configurable via the
+\fImailto\fR
+Defaults entry
+(described later) and defaults to
+\fR@mailto@\fR.
+.PP
+Note that no mail will be sent if an unauthorized user tries to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+with the
+\fB\-l\fR
+or
+\fB\-v\fR
+option unless there is an authentication error and
+either the
+\fImail_always\fR
+or
+\fImail_badpass\fR
+flags are enabled.
+This allows users to
+determine for themselves whether or not they are allowed to use
+\fBsudo\fR.
+By default, all attempts to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+(successful or not)
+are logged, regardless of whether or not mail is sent.
+.PP
+If
+\fBsudo\fR
+is run by root and the
+\fRSUDO_USER\fR
+environment variable
+is set, the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+policy will use this value to determine who
+the actual user is.
+This can be used by a user to log commands
+through sudo even when a root shell has been invoked.
+It also
+allows the
+\fB\-e\fR
+option to remain useful even when invoked via a
+sudo-run script or program.
+Note, however, that the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file lookup is still done for root, not the user specified by
+\fRSUDO_USER\fR.
+.PP
+\fBsudoers\fR
+uses per-user time stamp files for credential caching.
+Once a user has been authenticated, a record is written
+containing the user-ID that was used to authenticate, the
+terminal session ID, the start time of the session leader
+(or parent process) and a time stamp
+(using a monotonic clock if one is available).
+The user may then use
+\fBsudo\fR
+without a password for a short period of time
+(\fR@timeout@\fR
+minutes unless overridden by the
+\fItimestamp_timeout\fR
+option)
+\&.
+By default,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+uses a separate record for each terminal, which means that
+a user's login sessions are authenticated separately.
+The
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+option can be used to select the type of time stamp record
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will use.
+.SS "Logging"
+By default,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+logs both successful and unsuccessful attempts (as well
+as errors).
+The
+\fIlog_allowed\fR
+and
+\fIlog_denied\fR
+flags can be used to control this behavior.
+Messages can be logged to
+syslog(3),
+a log file, or both.
+The default is to log to
+syslog(3)
+but this is configurable via the
+\fIsyslog\fR
+and
+\fIlogfile\fR
+settings.
+See
+\fILOG FORMAT\fR
+for a description of the log file format.
+.PP
+\fBsudoers\fR
+is also capable of running a command in a pseudo-terminal and logging all
+input and/or output.
+The standard input, standard output and standard error can be logged
+even when not associated with a terminal.
+I/O logging is not on by default but can be enabled using
+the
+\fIlog_input\fR
+and
+\fIlog_output\fR
+options as well as the
+\fRLOG_INPUT\fR
+and
+\fRLOG_OUTPUT\fR
+command tags.
+See
+\fII/O LOG FILES\fR
+for details on how I/O log files are stored.
+.PP
+Starting with version 1.9, the
+\fIlog_servers\fR
+setting may be used to send event and I/O log data to a remote server running
+\fBsudo_logsrvd\fR
+or another service that implements the protocol described by
+sudo_logsrv.proto(@mansectform@).
+.SS "Command environment"
+Since environment variables can influence program behavior,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+provides a means to restrict which variables from the user's
+environment are inherited by the command to be run.
+There are two
+distinct ways
+\fBsudoers\fR
+can deal with environment variables.
+.PP
+By default, the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+flag is enabled.
+This causes commands
+to be executed with a new, minimal environment.
+On AIX (and Linux
+systems without PAM), the environment is initialized with the
+contents of the
+\fI/etc/environment\fR
+file.
+.if \n(LC \{\
+On
+BSD
+systems, if the
+\fIuse_loginclass\fR
+flag is enabled, the environment is initialized
+based on the
+\fIpath\fR
+and
+\fIsetenv\fR
+settings in
+\fI/etc/login.conf\fR.
+.\}
+The
+\fRHOME\fR,
+\fRMAIL\fR,
+\fRSHELL\fR,
+\fRLOGNAME\fR
+and
+\fRUSER\fR
+environment variables are initialized based on the target user
+and the
+\fRSUDO_*\fR
+variables are set based on the invoking user.
+Additional variables, such as
+\fRDISPLAY\fR,
+\fRPATH\fR
+and
+\fRTERM\fR,
+are preserved from the invoking user's environment if permitted by the
+\fIenv_check\fR
+or
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+options.
+A few environment variables are treated specially.
+If the
+\fRPATH\fR
+and
+\fRTERM\fR
+variables are not preserved from the user's environment, they will be set
+to default values.
+The
+\fRLOGNAME\fR
+and
+\fRUSER\fR
+are handled as a single entity.
+If one of them is preserved (or removed) from the user's environment,
+the other will be as well.
+If
+\fRLOGNAME\fR
+and
+\fRUSER\fR
+are to be preserved but only one of them is present in the user's environment,
+the other will be set to the same value.
+This avoids an inconsistent environment where one of the variables
+describing the user name is set to the invoking user and one is
+set to the target user.
+Environment variables with a value beginning with
+\fR()\fR
+are removed unless both the name and value parts are matched by
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+or
+\fIenv_check\fR,
+as they may be interpreted as functions by the
+\fBbash\fR
+shell.
+Prior to version 1.8.11, such variables were always removed.
+.PP
+If, however, the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+flag is disabled, any variables not
+explicitly denied by the
+\fIenv_check\fR
+and
+\fIenv_delete\fR
+options are allowed and their values are
+inherited from the invoking process.
+Prior to version 1.8.21, environment variables with a value beginning with
+\fR()\fR
+were always removed.
+Beginning with version 1.8.21, a pattern in
+\fIenv_delete\fR
+is used to match
+\fBbash\fR
+shell functions instead.
+Since it is not possible
+to block all potentially dangerous environment variables, use
+of the default
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+behavior is encouraged.
+.PP
+Environment variables specified by
+\fIenv_check\fR,
+\fIenv_delete\fR,
+or
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+may include one or more
+\(oq*\(cq
+characters which will match zero or more characters.
+No other wildcard characters are supported.
+.PP
+By default, environment variables are matched by name.
+However, if the pattern includes an equal sign
+(\(oq=\&\(cq),
+both the variables name and value must match.
+For example, a
+\fBbash\fR
+shell function could be matched as follows:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+env_keep += "BASH_FUNC_my_func%%=()*"
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Without the
+\(lq\fR=()*\fR\(rq
+suffix, this would not match, as
+\fBbash\fR
+shell functions are not preserved by default.
+.PP
+The complete list of environment variables that are preserved or removed,
+as modified by global Defaults parameters in
+\fIsudoers\fR,
+is displayed when
+\fBsudo\fR
+is run by root with the
+\fB\-V\fR
+option.
+Please note that the list of environment variables to remove
+varies based on the operating system
+\fBsudo\fR
+is running on.
+.PP
+Other
+\fBsudoers\fR
+options may influence the command environment, such as
+\fIalways_set_home\fR,
+\fIsecure_path\fR,
+\fIset_logname\fR,
+and
+\fIset_home\fR.
+.PP
+On systems that support PAM where the
+\fBpam_env\fR
+module is enabled for
+\fBsudo\fR,
+variables in the PAM environment may be merged in to the environment.
+If a variable in the PAM environment is already present in the
+user's environment, the value will only be overridden if the variable
+was not preserved by
+\fBsudoers\fR.
+When
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+is enabled, variables preserved from the invoking user's environment
+by the
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+list take precedence over those in the PAM environment.
+When
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+is disabled, variables present the invoking user's environment
+take precedence over those in the PAM environment unless they
+match a pattern in the
+\fIenv_delete\fR
+list.
+.PP
+Note that the dynamic linker on most operating systems will remove
+variables that can control dynamic linking from the environment of
+set-user-ID executables, including
+\fBsudo\fR.
+Depending on the operating
+system this may include
+\fR_RLD*\fR,
+\fRDYLD_*\fR,
+\fRLD_*\fR,
+\fRLDR_*\fR,
+\fRLIBPATH\fR,
+\fRSHLIB_PATH\fR,
+and others.
+These type of variables are
+removed from the environment before
+\fBsudo\fR
+even begins execution
+and, as such, it is not possible for
+\fBsudo\fR
+to preserve them.
+.PP
+As a special case, if the
+\fB\-i\fR
+option (initial login) is
+specified,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will initialize the environment regardless
+of the value of
+\fIenv_reset\fR.
+The
+\fRDISPLAY\fR,
+\fRPATH\fR
+and
+\fRTERM\fR
+variables remain unchanged;
+\fRHOME\fR,
+\fRMAIL\fR,
+\fRSHELL\fR,
+\fRUSER\fR,
+and
+\fRLOGNAME\fR
+are set based on the target user.
+On AIX (and Linux
+systems without PAM), the contents of
+\fI/etc/environment\fR
+are also
+included.
+.if \n(LC \{\
+On
+BSD
+systems, if the
+\fIuse_loginclass\fR
+flag is
+enabled, the
+\fIpath\fR
+and
+\fIsetenv\fR
+variables in
+\fI/etc/login.conf\fR
+are also applied.
+.\}
+All other environment variables are removed unless permitted by
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+or
+\fIenv_check\fR,
+described above.
+.PP
+Finally, the
+\fIrestricted_env_file\fR
+and
+\fIenv_file\fR
+files are applied, if present.
+The variables in
+\fIrestricted_env_file\fR
+are applied first and are subject to the same restrictions as the
+invoking user's environment, as detailed above.
+The variables in
+\fIenv_file\fR
+are applied last and are not subject to these restrictions.
+In both cases, variables present in the files will only be set to
+their specified values if they would not conflict with an existing
+environment variable.
+.SH "SUDOERS FILE FORMAT"
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file is composed of two types of entries: aliases
+(basically variables) and user specifications (which specify who
+may run what).
+.PP
+When multiple entries match for a user, they are applied in order.
+Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is
+not necessarily the most specific match).
+.PP
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file grammar will be described below in Extended Backus-Naur
+Form (EBNF).
+Don't despair if you are unfamiliar with EBNF; it is fairly simple,
+and the definitions below are annotated.
+.SS "Quick guide to EBNF"
+EBNF is a concise and exact way of describing the grammar of a language.
+Each EBNF definition is made up of
+\fIproduction rules\fR.
+E.g.,
+.PP
+\fRsymbol ::= definition\fR | \fRalternate1\fR | \fRalternate2 ...\fR
+.PP
+Each
+\fIproduction rule\fR
+references others and thus makes up a
+grammar for the language.
+EBNF also contains the following
+operators, which many readers will recognize from regular
+expressions.
+Do not, however, confuse them with
+\(lqwildcard\(rq
+characters, which have different meanings.
+.TP 6n
+\fR\&?\fR
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) is optional.
+That is, it may appear once or not at all.
+.TP 6n
+\fR*\fR
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) may appear
+zero or more times.
+.TP 6n
+\fR+\fR
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) may appear
+one or more times.
+.PP
+Parentheses may be used to group symbols together.
+For clarity,
+we will use single quotes
+('')
+to designate what is a verbatim character string (as opposed to a symbol name).
+.SS "Aliases"
+There are four kinds of aliases:
+\fRUser_Alias\fR,
+\fRRunas_Alias\fR,
+\fRHost_Alias\fR
+and
+\fRCmnd_Alias\fR.
+Beginning with
+\fBsudo\fR

+.SS "Wildcards"
+\fBsudo\fR
+allows shell-style
+\fIwildcards\fR
+(aka meta or glob characters)
+to be used in host names, path names and command line arguments in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+Wildcard matching is done via the
+glob(3)
+and
+fnmatch(3)
+functions as specified by
+IEEE Std 1003.1 (\(lqPOSIX.1\(rq).
+.TP 10n
+\fR*\fR
+Matches any set of zero or more characters (including white space).
+.TP 10n
+\fR\&?\fR
+Matches any single character (including white space).
+.TP 10n
+\fR[...]\fR
+Matches any character in the specified range.
+.TP 10n
+\fR[!...]\fR
+Matches any character
+\fInot\fR
+in the specified range.
+.TP 10n
+\fR\ex\fR
+For any character
+\(oqx\(cq,
+evaluates to
+\(oqx\(cq.
+This is used to escape special characters such as:
+\(oq*\(cq,
+\(oq\&?\(cq,
+\(oq[\&\(cq,
+and
+\(oq]\&\(cq.
+.PP
+\fBNote that these are not regular expressions.\fR
+Unlike a regular expression there is no way to match one or more
+characters within a range.
+.PP
+Character classes may be used if your system's
+glob(3)
+and
+fnmatch(3)
+functions support them.
+However, because the
+\(oq:\&\(cq
+character has special meaning in
+\fIsudoers\fR,
+it must be
+escaped.
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+/bin/ls [[\e:\&alpha\e:\&]]*
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+Would match any file name beginning with a letter.
+.PP
+Note that a forward slash
+(\(oq/\(cq)
+will
+\fInot\fR
+be matched by
+wildcards used in the file name portion of the command.
+This is to make a path like:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+/usr/bin/*
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+match
+\fI/usr/bin/who\fR
+but not
+\fI/usr/bin/X11/xterm\fR.
+.PP
+When matching the command line arguments, however, a slash
+\fIdoes\fR
+get matched by wildcards since command line arguments may contain
+arbitrary strings and not just path names.
+.PP
+\fBWildcards in command line arguments should be used with care.\fR
+.br
+Command line arguments are matched as a single, concatenated string.
+This mean a wildcard character such as
+\(oq\&?\(cq
+or
+\(oq*\(cq
+will match across word boundaries, which may be unexpected.
+For example, while a sudoers entry like:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+%operator ALL = /bin/cat /var/log/messages*
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+will allow command like:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+$ sudo cat /var/log/messages.1
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+It will also allow:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+$ sudo cat /var/log/messages /etc/shadow
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+which is probably not what was intended.
+In most cases it is better to do command line processing
+outside of the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file in a scripting language.
+.SS "Exceptions to wildcard rules"
+The following exceptions apply to the above rules:
+.TP 10n
+\fR\&""\fR
+If the empty string
+\fR\&""\fR
+is the only command line argument in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file entry it means that command is not allowed to be run with
+\fIany\fR
+arguments.
+.TP 10n
+sudoedit
+Command line arguments to the
+\fIsudoedit\fR
+built-in command should always be path names, so a forward slash
+(\(oq/\(cq)
+will not be matched by a wildcard.
+.SS "Including other files from within sudoers"
+It is possible to include other
+\fIsudoers\fR
+files from within the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file currently being parsed using the
+\fR@include\fR
+and
+\fR@includedir\fR
+directives.
+For compatibility with sudo versions prior to 1.9.1,
+\fR#include\fR
+and
+\fR#includedir\fR
+are also accepted.
+.PP
+An include file can be used, for example, to keep a site-wide
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file in addition to a local, per-machine file.
+For the sake of this example the site-wide
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file will be
+\fI/etc/sudoers\fR
+and the per-machine one will be
+\fI/etc/sudoers.local\fR.
+To include
+\fI/etc/sudoers.local\fR
+from within
+\fI/etc/sudoers\fR
+one would use the following line in
+\fI/etc/sudoers\fR:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+@include /etc/sudoers.local
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+When
+\fBsudo\fR
+reaches this line it will suspend processing of the current file
+(\fI/etc/sudoers\fR)
+and switch to
+\fI/etc/sudoers.local\fR.
+Upon reaching the end of
+\fI/etc/sudoers.local\fR,
+the rest of
+\fI/etc/sudoers\fR
+will be processed.
+Files that are included may themselves include other files.
+A hard limit of 128 nested include files is enforced to prevent include
+file loops.
+.PP
+The path to the include file may contain white space if it is
+escaped with a backslash
+(\(oq\e\(cq).
+Alternately, the entire path may be enclosed in double quotes
+(\&""),
+in which case no escaping is necessary.
+To include a literal backslash in the path,
+\(oq\e\e\(cq
+should be used.
+.PP
+If the path to the include file is not fully-qualified (does not
+begin with a
+\(oq/\(cq),
+it must be located in the same directory as the sudoers file it was
+included from.
+For example, if
+\fI/etc/sudoers\fR
+contains the line:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+\fR@include sudoers.local\fR
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+the file that will be included is
+\fI/etc/sudoers.local\fR.
+.PP
+The file name may also include the
+\fR%h\fR
+escape, signifying the short form of the host name.

+\(lqxerxes\(rq,
+then
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+@include /etc/sudoers.%h
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+will cause
+\fBsudo\fR

+\fI/etc/sudoers.xerxes\fR.
+.PP
+The
+\fR@includedir\fR
+directive can be used to create a
+\fIsudoers.d\fR
+directory that the system package manager can drop
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file rules into as part of package installation.
+For example, given:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 4n
+@includedir /etc/sudoers.d
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+\fBsudo\fR
+will suspend processing of the current file and read each file in
+\fI/etc/sudoers.d\fR,
+skipping file names that end in
+\(oq~\(cq
+or contain a
+\(oq.\&\(cq
+character to avoid causing problems with package manager or editor
+temporary/backup files.
+Files are parsed in sorted lexical order.
+That is,
+\fI/etc/sudoers.d/01_first\fR
+will be parsed before
+\fI/etc/sudoers.d/10_second\fR.
+Be aware that because the sorting is lexical, not numeric,
+\fI/etc/sudoers.d/1_whoops\fR
+would be loaded
+\fIafter\fR
+\fI/etc/sudoers.d/10_second\fR.
+Using a consistent number of leading zeroes in the file names can be used
+to avoid such problems.
+After parsing the files in the directory, control returns to the
+file that contained the
+\fR@includedir\fR
+directive.
+.PP
+Note that unlike files included via
+\fR@include\fR,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will not edit the files in a
+\fR@includedir\fR
+directory unless one of them contains a syntax error.
+It is still possible to run
+\fBvisudo\fR
+with the
+\fB\-f\fR

+.SS "Other special characters and reserved words"
+The pound sign
+(\(oq#\(cq)
+is used to indicate a comment (unless it is part of a #include
+directive or unless it occurs in the context of a user name and is
+followed by one or more digits, in which case it is treated as a
+user-ID).
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+.PP
+The reserved word
+\fBALL\fR
+is a built-in
+\fIalias\fR

+It can be used wherever one might otherwise use a
+\fRCmnd_Alias\fR,
+\fRUser_Alias\fR,
+\fRRunas_Alias\fR,
+or
+\fRHost_Alias\fR.
+Attempting to define an
+\fIalias\fR
+named
+\fBALL\fR

+Please note that using
+\fBALL\fR
+can be dangerous since in a command context, it allows the user to run
+\fIany\fR

+Attempting to define an
+\fIalias\fR

+An exclamation point
+(\(oq\&!\(cq)
+can be used as a logical
+\fInot\fR
+operator in a list or
+\fIalias\fR
+as well as in front of a
+\fRCmnd\fR.
+This allows one to exclude certain values.
+For the
+\(oq\&!\(cq

+If the
+\fBALL\fR,

+always_query_group_plugin
+If a
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR
+is configured, use it to resolve groups of the form %group as long
+as there is not also a system group of the same name.
+Normally, only groups of the form %:group are passed to the
+\fIgroup_plugin\fR.
+This flag is
+\fIoff\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+always_set_home
+If enabled,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will set the
+\fRHOME\fR
+environment variable to the home directory of the target user
+(which is the root user unless the
+\fB\-u\fR
+option is used).
+This flag is largely obsolete and has no effect unless the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+flag has been disabled or
+\fRHOME\fR
+is present in the
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+list, both of which are strongly discouraged.
+This flag is
+\fIoff\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+authenticate
+If set, users must authenticate themselves via a password (or other
+means of authentication) before they may run commands.
+This default may be overridden via the
+\fRPASSWD\fR
+and
+\fRNOPASSWD\fR
+tags.
+This flag is
+\fIon\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+case_insensitive_group
+If enabled, group names in
+\fIsudoers\fR
+will be matched in a case insensitive manner.
+This may be necessary when users are stored in LDAP or AD.
+This flag is
+\fIon\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+case_insensitive_user
+If enabled, user names in
+\fIsudoers\fR
+will be matched in a case insensitive manner.
+This may be necessary when groups are stored in LDAP or AD.
+This flag is
+\fIon\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+closefrom_override
+If set, the user may use the
+\fB\-C\fR
+option which overrides the default starting point at which
+\fBsudo\fR
+begins closing open file descriptors.
+This flag is
+\fIoff\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+compress_io
+If set, and
+\fBsudo\fR
+is configured to log a command's input or output,
+the I/O logs will be compressed using
+\fBzlib\fR.
+This flag is
+\fIon\fR
+by default when
+\fBsudo\fR
+is compiled with
+\fBzlib\fR
+support.
+.TP 18n
+exec_background
+By default,
+\fBsudo\fR
+runs a command as the foreground process as long as
+\fBsudo\fR
+itself is running in the foreground.
+When the
+\fIexec_background\fR
+flag is enabled and the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal
+(due to I/O logging or the
+\fIuse_pty\fR
+flag), the command will be run as a background process.
+Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal
+settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
+\fRSIGTTIN\fR
+signal (or
+\fRSIGTTOU\fR
+in the case of terminal settings).
+If this happens when
+\fBsudo\fR
+is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
+and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
+The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
+\fBsudo\fR
+need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
+Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
+has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
+to tell whether the command really wants the input).
+This is different from historic
+\fIsudo\fR
+behavior or when the command is not being run in a pseudo-terminal.
+.sp
+For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
+automatic restarting of system calls.
+Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
+and even those that do may have bugs.
+For example, macOS fails to restart the
+\fBtcgetattr\fR()
+and
+\fBtcsetattr\fR()
+system calls (this is a bug in macOS).
+Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
+\fRSIGTTIN\fR
+or
+\fRSIGTTOU\fR
+signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
+with a different signal (usually
+\fRSIGTOP\fR)
+will not be automatically foregrounded.
+Some versions of the linux
+su(1)
+command behave this way.
+This flag is
+\fIoff\fR
+by default.
+.sp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
+It has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or the
+\fIuse_pty\fR
+flag is enabled.
+.TP 18n
+env_editor
+If set,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will use the value of the
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variables before falling back on the default editor list.
+Note that
+\fBvisudo\fR
+is typically run as root so this flag may allow a user with
+\fBvisudo\fR
+privileges to run arbitrary commands as root without logging.
+An alternative is to place a colon-separated list of
+\(lqsafe\(rq
+editors int the
+\fIeditor\fR
+variable.
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will then only use
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+if they match a value specified in
+\fIeditor\fR.
+If the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+flag is enabled, the
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+and/or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variables must be present in the
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+list for the
+\fIenv_editor\fR
+flag to function when
+\fBvisudo\fR
+is invoked via
+\fBsudo\fR.
+This flag is
+\fI@env_editor@\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+env_reset
+If set,
+\fBsudo\fR
+will run the command in a minimal environment containing the
+\fRTERM\fR,
+\fRPATH\fR,
+\fRHOME\fR,
+\fRMAIL\fR,
+\fRSHELL\fR,

+setting that match the
+\fRenv_keep\fR
+and
+\fRenv_check\fR
+lists are then added, followed by any variables present in the file
+specified by the

+If the
+\fIsecure_path\fR
+setting is enabled, its value will be used for the
+\fRPATH\fR
+environment variable.
+This flag is
+\fI@env_reset@\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+fast_glob
+Normally,
+\fBsudo\fR
+uses the
+glob(3)
+function to do shell-style globbing when matching path names.
+However, since it accesses the file system,
+glob(3)
+can take a long time to complete for some patterns, especially
+when the pattern references a network file system that is mounted
+on demand (auto mounted).
+The
+\fIfast_glob\fR
+flag causes
+\fBsudo\fR
+to use the
+fnmatch(3)
+function, which does not access the file system to do its matching.
+The disadvantage of
+\fIfast_glob\fR
+is that it is unable to match relative path names such as
+\fI./ls\fR
+or
+\fI../bin/ls\fR.
+This has security implications when path names that include globbing
+characters are used with the negation operator,
+\(oq!\&\(cq,
+as such rules can be trivially bypassed.
+As such, this flag should not be used when the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file contains rules that contain negated path names which include globbing
+characters.
+This flag is
+\fIoff\fR
+by default.
+.TP 18n
+fqdn
+Set this flag if you want to put fully qualified host names in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file when the local host name (as returned by the
+\fRhostname\fR
+command) does not contain the domain name.
+In other words, instead of myhost you would use myhost.mydomain.edu.
+You may still use the short form if you wish (and even mix the two).
+This flag is only effective when the
+\(lqcanonical\(rq
+host name, as returned by the
+\fBgetaddrinfo\fR()
+or
+\fBgethostbyname\fR()
+function, is a fully-qualified domain name.
+This is usually the case when the system is configured to use DNS
+for host name resolution.
+.sp
+If the system is configured to use the
+\fI/etc/hosts\fR
+file in preference to DNS, the
+\(lqcanonical\(rq
+host name may not be fully-qualified.
+The order that sources are queried for host name resolution
+is usually specified in the

+\fI@netsvc_conf@\fR,
+\fI/etc/host.conf\fR,
+or, in some cases,
+\fI/etc/resolv.conf\fR
+file.
+In the
+\fI/etc/hosts\fR
+file, the first host name of the entry is considered to be the
+\(lqcanonical\(rq
+name; subsequent names are aliases that are not used by
+\fBsudoers\fR.

+\fIfqdn\fR
+requires
+\fBsudoers\fR
+to make DNS lookups which renders
+\fBsudo\fR
+unusable if DNS stops working (for example if the machine is disconnected
+from the network).
+Also note that just like with the hosts file, you must use the
+\(lqcanonical\(rq

+\fIiolog_dir\fR
+option
+(\fI@iolog_dir@\fR

+using a unique session ID that is included in the
+\fBsudo\fR
+log line, prefixed with

+In general, if a user has sudo

+.SS "Security implications of \fIfast_glob\fR"
+If the
+\fIfast_glob\fR
+option is in use, it is not possible to reliably negate commands where the

+.SS "Preventing shell escapes"
+Once
+\fBsudo\fR
+executes a program, that program is free to do whatever
+it pleases, including run other programs.
+This can be a security issue since it is not uncommon for a program to
+allow shell escapes, which lets a user bypass
+\fBsudo\fR's
+access control and logging.
+Common programs that permit shell escapes include shells (obviously),
+editors, paginators, mail and terminal programs.
+.PP
+There are two basic approaches to this problem:
+.TP 10n
+restrict
+Avoid giving users access to commands that allow the user to run
+arbitrary commands.
+Many editors have a restricted mode where shell
+escapes are disabled, though
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+is a better solution to
+running editors via
+\fBsudo\fR.
+Due to the large number of programs that
+offer shell escapes, restricting users to the set of programs that
+do not is often unworkable.
+.TP 10n
+noexec
+Many systems that support shared libraries have the ability to
+override default library functions by pointing an environment
+variable (usually
+\fRLD_PRELOAD\fR)
+to an alternate shared library.
+On such systems,
+\fBsudo\fR's
+\fInoexec\fR
+functionality can be used to prevent a program run by
+\fBsudo\fR
+from executing any other programs.
+Note, however, that this applies only to dynamically-linked
+executables.
+Statically-linked executables and executables
+running under binary emulation are not affected.
+.sp
+The
+\fInoexec\fR
+feature is known to work on SunOS, Solaris, *BSD,
+Linux, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, macOS, HP-UX 11.x and AIX 5.3 and above.
+It should be supported on most operating systems that support the
+\fRLD_PRELOAD\fR
+environment variable.
+Check your operating system's manual pages for the dynamic linker
+(usually ld.so, ld.so.1, dyld, dld.sl, rld, or loader) to see if
+\fRLD_PRELOAD\fR
+is supported.
+.sp
+On Solaris 10 and higher,
+\fInoexec\fR
+uses Solaris privileges instead of the
+\fRLD_PRELOAD\fR
+environment variable.
+.sp
+To enable
+\fInoexec\fR
+for a command, use the
+\fRNOEXEC\fR
+tag as documented
+in the User Specification section above.
+Here is that example again:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 10n

+\fInoexec\fR
+you can always just try it out and check whether shell escapes work when
+\fInoexec\fR
+is enabled.
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that restricting shell escapes is not a panacea.
+Programs running as root are still capable of many potentially hazardous
+operations (such as changing or overwriting files) that could lead
+to unintended privilege escalation.
+In the specific case of an editor, a safer approach is to give the
+user permission to run
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+(see below).
+.SS "Secure editing"
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin includes
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+support which allows users to securely edit files with the editor
+of their choice.
+As
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+is a built-in command, it must be specified in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file without a leading path.
+However, it may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Wildcards used in
+\fIsudoedit\fR
+command line arguments are expected to be path names, so a forward slash
+(\(oq/\(cq)
+will not be matched by a wildcard.
+.PP
+Unlike other
+\fBsudo\fR
+commands, the editor is run with the permissions of the invoking
+user and with the environment unmodified.
+More information may be found in the description of the
+\fB\-e\fR
+option in
+sudo(@mansectsu@).
+.PP
+For example, to allow user operator to edit the
+\(lqmessage of the day\(rq
+file:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+operator sudoedit /etc/motd
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The operator user then runs
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+as follows:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+$ sudoedit /etc/motd
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The editor will run as the operator user, not root, on a temporary copy of
+\fI/etc/motd\fR.
+After the file has been edited,
+\fI/etc/motd\fR
+will be updated with the contents of the temporary copy.
+.PP
+Users should
+\fInever\fR
+be granted
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+permission to edit a file that resides in a directory the user
+has write access to, either directly or via a wildcard.
+If the user has write access to the directory it is possible to
+replace the legitimate file with a link to another file,
+allowing the editing of arbitrary files.
+To prevent this, starting with version 1.8.16, symbolic links will
+not be followed in writable directories and
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+will refuse to edit a file located in a writable directory
+unless the
+\fIsudoedit_checkdir\fR
+option has been disabled or the invoking user is root.
+Additionally, in version 1.8.15 and higher,
+\fBsudoedit\fR
+will refuse to open a symbolic link unless either the
+\fIsudoedit_follow\fR
+option is enabled or the
+\fIsudoedit\fR
+command is prefixed with the
+\fRFOLLOW\fR
+tag in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.SS "Time stamp file checks"
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will check the ownership of its time stamp directory
+(\fI@rundir@/ts\fR
+by default)
+and ignore the directory's contents if it is not owned by root or
+if it is writable by a user other than root.
+Older versions of
+\fBsudo\fR
+stored time stamp files in
+\fI/tmp\fR;
+this is no longer recommended as it may be possible for a user
+to create the time stamp themselves on systems that allow
+unprivileged users to change the ownership of files they create.
+.PP
+While the time stamp directory
+\fIshould\fR
+be cleared at reboot time, not all systems contain a
+\fI/run\fR
+or
+\fI/var/run\fR
+directory.
+To avoid potential problems,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will ignore time stamp files that date from before the machine booted
+on systems where the boot time is available.
+.PP
+Some systems with graphical desktop environments allow unprivileged
+users to change the system clock.
+Since
+\fBsudoers\fR
+relies on the system clock for time stamp validation, it may be
+possible on such systems for a user to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+for longer than
+\fItimestamp_timeout\fR
+by setting the clock back.
+To combat this,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+uses a monotonic clock (which never moves backwards) for its time stamps
+if the system supports it.
+.PP
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will not honor time stamps set far in the future.
+Time stamps with a date greater than current_time + 2 *
+\fRTIMEOUT\fR
+will be ignored and
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will log and complain.
+.PP
+If the
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+option is set to
+\(lqtty\(rq,
+the time stamp record includes the device number of the terminal
+the user authenticated with.
+This provides per-terminal granularity but time stamp records may still
+outlive the user's session.
+.PP
+Unless the
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+option is set to
+\(lqglobal\(rq,
+the time stamp record also includes the session ID of the process
+that last authenticated.
+This prevents processes in different terminal sessions from using
+the same time stamp record.
+On systems where a process's start time can be queried,
+the start time of the session leader
+is recorded in the time stamp record.
+If no terminal is present or the
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+option is set to
+\(lqppid\(rq,
+the start time of the parent process is used instead.
+In most cases this will prevent a time stamp record from being re-used
+without the user entering a password when logging out and back in again.
+.SH "DEBUGGING"
+Versions 1.8.4 and higher of the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin support a flexible debugging framework that can help track
+down what the plugin is doing internally if there is a problem.
+This can be configured in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+.PP
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin uses the same debug flag format as the
+\fBsudo\fR
+front-end:
+\fIsubsystem\fR@\fIpriority\fR.
+.PP
+The priorities used by
+\fBsudoers\fR,
+in order of decreasing severity,
+are:
+\fIcrit\fR, \fIerr\fR, \fIwarn\fR, \fInotice\fR, \fIdiag\fR, \fIinfo\fR, \fItrace\fR
+and
+\fIdebug\fR.
+Each priority, when specified, also includes all priorities higher
+than it.
+For example, a priority of
+\fInotice\fR
+would include debug messages logged at
+\fInotice\fR
+and higher.
+.PP
+The following subsystems are used by the
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin:

+If

+\fBsudo\fR
+may refuse to run, which is a serious problem if
+\fBsudo\fR
+is your only method of obtaining superuser privileges.
+Recent versions of
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will attempt to recover after a syntax error by ignoring the rest of
+the line after encountering an error.

+\fBsudo\fR
+will not run if
+\fIsudoers\fR
+contains a syntax error.

+When using netgroups of machines (as opposed to users), if you
+store fully qualified host name in the netgroup (as is usually the

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sudoers
+.Nd default sudo security policy plugin
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+policy plugin determines a user's
+.Nm sudo
+privileges.
+It is the default
+.Nm sudo
+policy plugin.
+The policy is driven by
+the
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+file or, optionally in LDAP.
+The policy format is described in detail in the
+.Sx SUDOERS FILE FORMAT
+section.
+For information on storing
+.Nm
+policy information
+in LDAP, please see
+.Xr sudoers.ldap @mansectform@ .
+.Ss Configuring sudo.conf for sudoers
+.Nm sudo
+consults the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file to determine which policy and I/O logging plugins to load.
+If no
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file is present, or if it contains no
+.Li Plugin
+lines,
+.Nm
+will be used for policy decisions and I/O logging.
+To explicitly configure
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+to use the
+.Nm
+plugin, the following configuration can be used.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_audit sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so
+Plugin sudoers_io sudoers.so
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Starting with
+.Nm sudo
+1.8.5, it is possible to specify optional arguments to the
+.Nm
+plugin in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file.
+Plugin arguments, if any, should be listed after the path to the plugin
+(i.e., after
+.Pa sudoers.so ) .
+The arguments are only effective for the plugin that opens (and parses) the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+.Pp
+For
+.Nm sudo
+version 1.9.1 and higher, this is the
+.Em sudoers_audit
+plugin.
+For older versions, it is the
+.Em sudoers_policy
+plugin.
+Multiple arguments may be specified, separated by white space.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Plugin sudoers_audit sudoers.so sudoers_mode=0400 error_recovery=false
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following plugin arguments are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It error_recovery=bool
+The
+.Em error_recovery
+argument can be used to control whether
+.Nm
+should attempt to recover from syntax errors in the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+If set to
+.Em true
+(the default),
+.Nm
+will try to recover from a syntax error by discarding the portion
+of the line that contains the error until the end of the line.
+A value of
+.Em false
+will disable error recovery.
+Prior to version 1.9.3, no error recovery was performed.
+.It ldap_conf=pathname
+The
+.Em ldap_conf
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+.Pa ldap.conf
+file.
+.It ldap_secret=pathname
+The
+.Em ldap_secret
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+.Pa ldap.secret
+file.
+.It sudoers_file=pathname
+The
+.Em sudoers_file
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+.It sudoers_uid=uid
+The
+.Em sudoers_uid
+argument can be used to override the default owner of the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as a numeric user-ID.
+.It sudoers_gid=gid
+The
+.Em sudoers_gid
+argument can be used to override the default group of the sudoers file.
+It must be specified as a numeric group-ID (not a group name).
+.It sudoers_mode=mode
+The
+.Em sudoers_mode
+argument can be used to override the default file mode for the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as an octal value.
+.El
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@ ,
+please refer to its manual.
+.Ss User Authentication
+The
+.Nm
+security policy requires that most users authenticate
+themselves before they can use
+.Nm sudo .
+A password is not required
+if the invoking user is root, if the target user is the same as the
+invoking user, or if the policy has disabled authentication for the
+user or command.
+Unlike
+.Xr su 1 ,
+when
+.Nm
+requires
+authentication, it validates the invoking user's credentials, not
+the target user's (or root's) credentials.
+This can be changed via
+the
+.Em rootpw ,
+.Em targetpw
+and
+.Em runaspw
+flags, described later.
+.Pp
+If a user who is not listed in the policy tries to run a command
+via
+.Nm sudo ,
+mail is sent to the proper authorities.
+The address
+used for such mail is configurable via the
+.Em mailto
+Defaults entry
+(described later) and defaults to
+.Li @mailto@ .
+.Pp
+Note that no mail will be sent if an unauthorized user tries to run
+.Nm sudo
+with the
+.Fl l
+or
+.Fl v
+option unless there is an authentication error and
+either the
+.Em mail_always
+or
+.Em mail_badpass
+flags are enabled.
+This allows users to
+determine for themselves whether or not they are allowed to use
+.Nm sudo .
+By default, all attempts to run
+.Nm sudo
+(successful or not)
+are logged, regardless of whether or not mail is sent.
+.Pp
+If
+.Nm sudo
+is run by root and the
+.Ev SUDO_USER
+environment variable
+is set, the
+.Nm
+policy will use this value to determine who
+the actual user is.
+This can be used by a user to log commands
+through sudo even when a root shell has been invoked.
+It also
+allows the
+.Fl e
+option to remain useful even when invoked via a
+sudo-run script or program.
+Note, however, that the
+.Em sudoers
+file lookup is still done for root, not the user specified by
+.Ev SUDO_USER .
+.Pp
+.Nm
+uses per-user time stamp files for credential caching.
+Once a user has been authenticated, a record is written
+containing the user-ID that was used to authenticate, the
+terminal session ID, the start time of the session leader
+(or parent process) and a time stamp
+(using a monotonic clock if one is available).
+The user may then use
+.Nm sudo
+without a password for a short period of time
+.Po
+.Li @timeout@
+minutes unless overridden by the
+.Em timestamp_timeout
+option
+.Pc .
+By default,
+.Nm
+uses a separate record for each terminal, which means that
+a user's login sessions are authenticated separately.
+The
+.Em timestamp_type
+option can be used to select the type of time stamp record
+.Nm
+will use.
+.Ss Logging
+By default,
+.Nm
+logs both successful and unsuccessful attempts (as well
+as errors).
+The
+.Em log_allowed
+and
+.Em log_denied
+flags can be used to control this behavior.
+Messages can be logged to
+.Xr syslog 3 ,
+a log file, or both.
+The default is to log to
+.Xr syslog 3
+but this is configurable via the
+.Em syslog
+and
+.Em logfile
+settings.
+See
+.Sx "LOG FORMAT"
+for a description of the log file format.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+is also capable of running a command in a pseudo-terminal and logging all
+input and/or output.
+The standard input, standard output and standard error can be logged
+even when not associated with a terminal.
+I/O logging is not on by default but can be enabled using
+the
+.Em log_input
+and
+.Em log_output
+options as well as the
+.Li LOG_INPUT
+and
+.Li LOG_OUTPUT
+command tags.
+See
+.Sx "I/O LOG FILES"
+for details on how I/O log files are stored.
+.Pp
+Starting with version 1.9, the
+.Em log_servers
+setting may be used to send event and I/O log data to a remote server running
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+or another service that implements the protocol described by
+.Xr sudo_logsrv.proto @mansectform@ .
+.Ss Command environment
+Since environment variables can influence program behavior,
+.Nm
+provides a means to restrict which variables from the user's
+environment are inherited by the command to be run.
+There are two
+distinct ways
+.Nm
+can deal with environment variables.
+.Pp
+By default, the
+.Em env_reset
+flag is enabled.
+This causes commands
+to be executed with a new, minimal environment.
+On AIX (and Linux
+systems without PAM), the environment is initialized with the
+contents of the
+.Pa /etc/environment
+file.
+.if \n(LC \{\
+On
+.Bx
+systems, if the
+.Em use_loginclass
+flag is enabled, the environment is initialized
+based on the
+.Em path
+and
+.Em setenv
+settings in
+.Pa /etc/login.conf .
+.\}
+The
+.Ev HOME ,
+.Ev MAIL ,
+.Ev SHELL ,
+.Ev LOGNAME
+and
+.Ev USER
+environment variables are initialized based on the target user
+and the
+.Ev SUDO_*
+variables are set based on the invoking user.
+Additional variables, such as
+.Ev DISPLAY ,
+.Ev PATH
+and
+.Ev TERM ,
+are preserved from the invoking user's environment if permitted by the
+.Em env_check
+or
+.Em env_keep
+options.
+A few environment variables are treated specially.
+If the
+.Ev PATH
+and
+.Ev TERM
+variables are not preserved from the user's environment, they will be set
+to default values.
+The
+.Ev LOGNAME
+and
+.Ev USER
+are handled as a single entity.
+If one of them is preserved (or removed) from the user's environment,
+the other will be as well.
+If
+.Ev LOGNAME
+and
+.Ev USER
+are to be preserved but only one of them is present in the user's environment,
+the other will be set to the same value.
+This avoids an inconsistent environment where one of the variables
+describing the user name is set to the invoking user and one is
+set to the target user.
+Environment variables with a value beginning with
+.Li ()
+are removed unless both the name and value parts are matched by
+.Em env_keep
+or
+.Em env_check ,
+as they may be interpreted as functions by the
+.Sy bash
+shell.
+Prior to version 1.8.11, such variables were always removed.
+.Pp
+If, however, the
+.Em env_reset
+flag is disabled, any variables not
+explicitly denied by the
+.Em env_check
+and
+.Em env_delete
+options are allowed and their values are
+inherited from the invoking process.
+Prior to version 1.8.21, environment variables with a value beginning with
+.Li ()
+were always removed.
+Beginning with version 1.8.21, a pattern in
+.Em env_delete
+is used to match
+.Sy bash
+shell functions instead.
+Since it is not possible
+to block all potentially dangerous environment variables, use
+of the default
+.Em env_reset
+behavior is encouraged.
+.Pp
+Environment variables specified by
+.Em env_check ,
+.Em env_delete ,
+or
+.Em env_keep
+may include one or more
+.Ql *
+characters which will match zero or more characters.
+No other wildcard characters are supported.
+.Pp
+By default, environment variables are matched by name.
+However, if the pattern includes an equal sign
+.Pq Ql =\& ,
+both the variables name and value must match.
+For example, a
+.Sy bash
+shell function could be matched as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+env_keep += "BASH_FUNC_my_func%%=()*"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Without the
+.Dq Li =()*
+suffix, this would not match, as
+.Sy bash
+shell functions are not preserved by default.
+.Pp
+The complete list of environment variables that are preserved or removed,
+as modified by global Defaults parameters in
+.Em sudoers ,
+is displayed when
+.Nm sudo
+is run by root with the
+.Fl V
+option.
+Please note that the list of environment variables to remove
+varies based on the operating system
+.Nm sudo
+is running on.
+.Pp
+Other
+.Nm
+options may influence the command environment, such as
+.Em always_set_home ,
+.Em secure_path ,
+.Em set_logname ,
+and
+.Em set_home .
+.Pp
+On systems that support PAM where the
+.Sy pam_env
+module is enabled for
+.Nm sudo ,
+variables in the PAM environment may be merged in to the environment.
+If a variable in the PAM environment is already present in the
+user's environment, the value will only be overridden if the variable
+was not preserved by
+.Nm .
+When
+.Em env_reset
+is enabled, variables preserved from the invoking user's environment
+by the
+.Em env_keep
+list take precedence over those in the PAM environment.
+When
+.Em env_reset
+is disabled, variables present the invoking user's environment
+take precedence over those in the PAM environment unless they
+match a pattern in the
+.Em env_delete
+list.
+.Pp
+Note that the dynamic linker on most operating systems will remove
+variables that can control dynamic linking from the environment of
+set-user-ID executables, including
+.Nm sudo .
+Depending on the operating
+system this may include
+.Ev _RLD* ,
+.Ev DYLD_* ,
+.Ev LD_* ,
+.Ev LDR_* ,
+.Ev LIBPATH ,
+.Ev SHLIB_PATH ,
+and others.
+These type of variables are
+removed from the environment before
+.Nm sudo
+even begins execution
+and, as such, it is not possible for
+.Nm sudo
+to preserve them.
+.Pp
+As a special case, if the
+.Fl i
+option (initial login) is
+specified,
+.Nm
+will initialize the environment regardless
+of the value of
+.Em env_reset .
+The
+.Ev DISPLAY ,
+.Ev PATH
+and
+.Ev TERM
+variables remain unchanged;
+.Ev HOME ,
+.Ev MAIL ,
+.Ev SHELL ,
+.Ev USER ,
+and
+.Ev LOGNAME
+are set based on the target user.
+On AIX (and Linux
+systems without PAM), the contents of
+.Pa /etc/environment
+are also
+included.
+.if \n(LC \{\
+On
+.Bx
+systems, if the
+.Em use_loginclass
+flag is
+enabled, the
+.Em path
+and
+.Em setenv
+variables in
+.Pa /etc/login.conf
+are also applied.
+.\}
+All other environment variables are removed unless permitted by
+.Em env_keep
+or
+.Em env_check ,
+described above.
+.Pp
+Finally, the
+.Em restricted_env_file
+and
+.Em env_file
+files are applied, if present.
+The variables in
+.Em restricted_env_file
+are applied first and are subject to the same restrictions as the
+invoking user's environment, as detailed above.
+The variables in
+.Em env_file
+are applied last and are not subject to these restrictions.
+In both cases, variables present in the files will only be set to
+their specified values if they would not conflict with an existing
+environment variable.
+.Sh SUDOERS FILE FORMAT
+The
+.Em sudoers
+file is composed of two types of entries: aliases
+(basically variables) and user specifications (which specify who
+may run what).
+.Pp
+When multiple entries match for a user, they are applied in order.
+Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is
+not necessarily the most specific match).
+.Pp
+The
+.Em sudoers
+file grammar will be described below in Extended Backus-Naur
+Form (EBNF).
+Don't despair if you are unfamiliar with EBNF; it is fairly simple,
+and the definitions below are annotated.
+.Ss Quick guide to EBNF
+EBNF is a concise and exact way of describing the grammar of a language.
+Each EBNF definition is made up of
+.Em production rules .
+E.g.,
+.Pp
+.Li symbol ::= definition | alternate1 | alternate2 ...
+.Pp
+Each
+.Em production rule
+references others and thus makes up a
+grammar for the language.
+EBNF also contains the following
+operators, which many readers will recognize from regular
+expressions.
+Do not, however, confuse them with
+.Dq wildcard
+characters, which have different meanings.
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Li \&?
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) is optional.
+That is, it may appear once or not at all.
+.It Li *
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) may appear
+zero or more times.
+.It Li +
+Means that the preceding symbol (or group of symbols) may appear
+one or more times.
+.El
+.Pp
+Parentheses may be used to group symbols together.
+For clarity,
+we will use single quotes
+.Pq ''
+to designate what is a verbatim character string (as opposed to a symbol name).
+.Ss Aliases
+There are four kinds of aliases:
+.Li User_Alias ,
+.Li Runas_Alias ,
+.Li Host_Alias
+and
+.Li Cmnd_Alias .
+Beginning with
+.Nm sudo
+1.9.0,
+.Li Cmd_Alias
+may be used in place of
+.Li Cmnd_Alias
+if desired.
+.Bd -literal

+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Em Alias_Type
+is one of
+.Li User_Alias ,
+.Li Runas_Alias ,

+A
+.Li NAME
+is a string of uppercase letters, numbers,
+and underscore characters
+.Pq Ql _ .
+A
+.Li NAME
+.Sy must
+start with an
+uppercase letter.
+It is possible to put several alias definitions
+of the same type on a single line, joined by a colon
+.Pq Ql :\& .
+E.g.,
+.Bd -literal
+Alias_Type NAME = item1, item2, item3 : NAME = item4, item5
+.Ed
+.Pp
+It is a syntax error to redefine an existing
+.Em alias .
+It is possible to use the same name for
+.Em aliases
+of different types, but this is not recommended.
+.Pp
+The definitions of what constitutes a valid
+.Em alias
+member follow.

+.Ed
+.Pp
+A
+.Li User_List
+is made up of one or more user names, user-IDs
+(prefixed with
+.Ql # ) ,
+system group names and IDs (prefixed with
+.Ql %
+and
+.Ql %#
+respectively), netgroups (prefixed with
+.Ql + ) ,
+non-Unix group names and IDs (prefixed with
+.Ql %:
+and
+.Ql %:#
+respectively) and
+.Li User_Alias Ns es.
+Each list item may be prefixed with zero or more
+.Ql \&!
+operators.
+An odd number of
+.Ql \&!
+operators negate the value of
+the item; an even number just cancel each other out.
+User netgroups are matched using the user and domain members only;
+the host member is not used when matching.
+.Pp
+A
+.Li user name ,
+.Li uid ,
+.Li group ,
+.Li gid ,
+.Li netgroup ,
+.Li nonunix_group
+or
+.Li nonunix_gid
+may be enclosed in double quotes to avoid the
+need for escaping special characters.
+Alternately, special characters
+may be specified in escaped hex mode, e.g., \ex20 for space.
+When
+using double quotes, any prefix characters must be included inside
+the quotes.
+.Pp
+The actual
+.Li nonunix_group
+and
+.Li nonunix_gid
+syntax depends on
+the underlying group provider plugin.
+For instance, the QAS AD plugin supports the following formats:
+.Bl -bullet -width 1n
+.It
+Group in the same domain: "%:Group Name"
+.It
+Group in any domain: "%:Group Name@FULLY.QUALIFIED.DOMAIN"
+.It

+.El
+.Pp
+See
+.Sx "GROUP PROVIDER PLUGINS"
+for more information.
+.Pp
+Note that quotes around group names are optional.
+Unquoted strings must use a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+to escape spaces and special characters.
+See
+.Sx Other special characters and reserved words
+for a list of
+characters that need to be escaped.

+A
+.Li Runas_List
+is similar to a
+.Li User_List
+except that instead
+of
+.Li User_Alias Ns es
+it can contain
+.Li Runas_Alias Ns es .
+Note that
+user names and groups are matched as strings.
+In other words, two users (groups) with the same user (group) ID
+are considered to be distinct.
+If you wish to match all user names with the same user-ID (e.g., root and
+toor), you can use a user-ID instead of a name (#0 in the example given).
+Note that the user-ID or group-ID specified in a
+.Li Runas_Member
+need not be listed in the password or group database.

+.Ed
+.Pp
+A
+.Li Host_List
+is made up of one or more host names, IP addresses,
+network numbers, netgroups (prefixed with
+.Ql + )
+and other aliases.
+Again, the value of an item may be negated with the
+.Ql \&!
+operator.
+Host netgroups are matched using the host (both qualified and unqualified)
+and domain members only; the user member is not used when matching.
+If you specify a network number without a netmask,
+.Nm sudo
+will query each of the local host's network interfaces and,
+if the network number corresponds to one of the hosts's network
+interfaces, will use the netmask of that interface.
+The netmask may be specified either in standard IP address notation
+(e.g., 255.255.255.0 or ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::),
+or CIDR notation (number of bits, e.g., 24 or 64).
+A host name may include shell-style wildcards (see the
+.Sx Wildcards
+section below),
+but unless the
+.Li host name
+command on your machine returns the fully
+qualified host name, you'll need to use the
+.Em fqdn
+flag for wildcards to be useful.
+Note that
+.Nm sudo
+only inspects actual network interfaces; this means that IP address
+127.0.0.1 (localhost) will never match.
+Also, the host name
+.Dq localhost
+will only match if that is the actual host name, which is usually
+only the case for non-networked systems.

+.Pp
+A
+.Li Cmnd_List
+is a list of one or more command names, directories, and other aliases.
+A command name is a fully qualified file name which may include
+shell-style wildcards (see the
+.Sx Wildcards
+section below).
+A simple file name allows the user to run the command with any
+arguments they wish.
+However, you may also specify command line arguments (including
+wildcards).
+Alternately, you can specify
+.Li \&""
+to indicate that the command
+may only be run
+.Sy without
+command line arguments.
+A directory is a
+fully qualified path name ending in a
+.Ql / .
+When you specify a directory in a
+.Li Cmnd_List ,
+the user will be able to run any file within that directory
+(but not in any sub-directories therein).
+.Pp
+If a
+.Li Cmnd
+has associated command line arguments, then the arguments
+in the
+.Li Cmnd
+must match exactly those given by the user on the command line
+(or match the wildcards if there are any).
+Note that the following characters must be escaped with a
+.Ql \e
+if they are used in command arguments:
+.Ql ,\& ,
+.Ql :\& ,
+.Ql =\& ,
+.Ql \e .
+The built-in command
+.Dq Li sudoedit
+is used to permit a user to run
+.Nm sudo
+with the
+.Fl e
+option (or as
+.Nm sudoedit ) .
+It may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Note that
+.Dq Li sudoedit
+is a command built into
+.Nm sudo
+itself and must be specified in the
+.Em sudoers
+file
+.Sy without
+a leading path.
+If a leading path is present, for example
+.Pa /usr/bin/sudoedit ,
+the path name will be silently converted to
+.Dq Li sudoedit .
+A fully-qualified path for
+.Nm sudoedit
+is treated as an error by
+.Nm visudo .
+.Pp
+A
+.Li command name
+may be preceded by a
+.Li Digest_List ,
+a comma-separated list of one or more
+.Li Digest_Spec
+entries.
+If a
+.Li Digest_List
+is present, the command will only match successfully if it can be verified
+using one of the SHA-2 digests in the list.
+Starting with version 1.9.0, the
+.Sy ALL
+reserved word can be used in conjunction with a
+.Li Digest_List .
+The following digest formats are supported: sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512.
+The string may be specified in either hex or base64 format
+(base64 is more compact).
+There are several utilities capable of generating SHA-2 digests in hex
+format such as openssl, shasum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
+.Pp
+For example, using openssl:
+.Bd -literal
+$ openssl dgst -sha224 /bin/ls
+SHA224(/bin/ls)= 118187da8364d490b4a7debbf483004e8f3e053ec954309de2c41a25

+.Pp
+Warning, if the user has write access to the command itself (directly or via a
+.Nm sudo
+command), it may be possible for the user to replace the command after the
+digest check has been performed but before the command is executed.
+A similar race condition exists on systems that lack the
+.Xr fexecve 2
+system call when the directory in which the command is located
+is writable by the user.
+See the description of the

+Certain configuration options may be changed from their default
+values at run-time via one or more
+.Li Default_Entry
+lines.
+These may affect all users on any host, all users on a specific host, a

+By default, commands are

+The basic structure of a user specification is

+.Ss Runas_Spec
+A
+.Li Runas_Spec
+determines the user and/or the group that a command

+A fully-specified
+.Li Runas_Spec
+consists of two
+.Li Runas_List Ns s
+(as defined above) separated by a colon
+.Pq Ql :\&
+and enclosed in a set of parentheses.
+The first
+.Li Runas_List
+indicates which users the command may be run as via the
+.Fl u
+option.
+The second defines a list of groups that can be specified via the
+.Fl g
+option in addition to any of the target user's groups.
+If both
+.Li Runas_List Ns s
+are specified, the command may be run with any combination of users
+and groups listed in their respective
+.Li Runas_List Ns s.
+If only the first is specified, the command may be run as any user
+in the list but no
+.Fl g
+option
+may be specified.
+If the first
+.Li Runas_List
+is empty but the
+second is specified, the command may be run as the invoking user
+with the group set to any listed in the
+.Li Runas_List .
+If both
+.Li Runas_List Ns s
+are empty, the command may only be run as the invoking user.
+If no
+.Li Runas_Spec
+is specified the command may be run as
+.Sy root
+and
+no group may be specified.
+.Pp
+A
+.Li Runas_Spec
+sets the default for the commands that follow it.
+What this means is that for the entry:
+.Bd -literal
+dgb boulder = (operator) /bin/ls, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The user
+.Sy dgb
+may run
+.Pa /bin/ls ,
+.Pa /bin/kill ,
+and
+.Pa /usr/bin/lprm
+on the host
+.No boulder Ns \(em Ns but
+only as
+.Sy operator .
+E.g.,
+.Bd -literal
+$ sudo -u operator /bin/ls
+.Ed
+.Pp
+It is also possible to override a
+.Li Runas_Spec
+later on in an entry.
+If we modify the entry like so:
+.Bd -literal
+dgb boulder = (operator) /bin/ls, (root) /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm

+is now allowed to run

+as

+.Pa /usr/bin/lprm
+as

+.Pp
+We can extend this to allow

+to run
+.Li /bin/ls
+with either
+the user or group set to
+.Sy operator :
+.Bd -literal
+dgb boulder = (operator : operator) /bin/ls, (root) /bin/kill,\e
+ /usr/bin/lprm
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that while the group portion of the
+.Li Runas_Spec
+permits the
+user to run as command with that group, it does not force the user
+to do so.
+If no group is specified on the command line, the command
+will run with the group listed in the target user's password database
+entry.

+.Pp
+Multiple users and groups may be present in a

+A
+.Li Cmnd
+may have zero or more options associated with it.
+Options may consist of
+.if \n(SL \{\
+SELinux roles and/or types,
+.\}
+.if \n(PS \{\
+Solaris privileges sets,
+.\}
+start and/or end dates and command timeouts.

+inherit that option unless it is overridden by another option.
+Note that the option names are reserved words in
+.Em sudoers .
+This means that none of the valid option names (see below) can be used
+when declaring an alias.
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.Ss SELinux_Spec
+On systems with SELinux support,
+.Em sudoers
+file entries may optionally have an SELinux role and/or type associated
+with a command.
+If a role or
+type is specified with the command it will override any default values
+specified in
+.Em sudoers .
+A role or type specified on the command line,
+however, will supersede the values in
+.Em sudoers .
+.\}
+.if \n(PS \{\
+.Ss Solaris_Priv_Spec
+On Solaris systems,
+.Em sudoers
+file entries may optionally specify Solaris privilege set and/or limit
+privilege set associated with a command.
+If privileges or limit privileges are specified with the command
+it will override any default values specified in
+.Em sudoers .
+.Pp
+A privilege set is a comma-separated list of privilege names.
+The
+.Xr ppriv 1
+command can be used to list all privileges known to the system.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal
+$ ppriv -l
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In addition, there are several
+.Dq special

+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It none
+the empty set
+.It all
+the set of all privileges
+.It zone
+the set of all privileges available in the current zone
+.It basic
+the default set of privileges normal users are granted at login time
+.El
+.Pp
+Privileges can be excluded from a set by prefixing the privilege
+name with either an
+.Ql \&!
+or
+.Ql \-
+character.
+.\}
+.Ss Date_Spec
+.Nm
+rules can be specified with a start and end date via the
+.Li NOTBEFORE
+and
+.Li NOTAFTER
+settings.
+The time stamp must be specified in
+.Em Generalized Time
+as defined by RFC 4517.
+The format is effectively
+.Li yyyymmddHHMMSSZ
+where the minutes and seconds are optional.
+The
+.Ql Z
+suffix indicates that the time stamp is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
+It is also possible to specify a timezone offset from UTC in hours
+and minutes instead of a
+.Ql Z .
+For example,
+.Ql -0500
+would correspond to Eastern Standard time in the US.
+As an extension, if no
+.Ql Z
+or timezone offset is specified, local time will be used.
+.Pp
+The following are all valid time stamps:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+20170214083000Z
+2017021408Z
+20160315220000-0500
+20151201235900
+.Ed
+.Ss Timeout_Spec
+A command may have a timeout associated with it.
+If the timeout expires before the command has exited, the
+command will be terminated.
+The timeout may be specified in combinations of days, hours,
+minutes and seconds with a single-letter case-insensitive suffix
+that indicates the unit of time.
+For example, a timeout of 7 days, 8 hours, 30 minutes and
+10 seconds would be written as
+.Li 7d8h30m10s .
+If a number is specified without a unit, seconds are assumed.
+Any of the days, minutes, hours or seconds may be omitted.
+The order must be from largest to smallest unit and a unit
+may not be specified more than once.
+.Pp
+The following are all
+.Em valid
+timeout values:
+.Li 7d8h30m10s ,
+.Li 14d ,
+.Li 8h30m ,
+.Li 600s ,
+.Li 3600 .
+The following are
+.Em invalid
+timeout values:
+.Li 12m2w1d ,
+.Li 30s10m4h ,
+.Li 1d2d3h .
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.20 or higher.
+.Ss Chdir_Spec
+The working directory that the command will be run in can be specified
+using the
+.Li CWD
+setting.
+The
+.Fa directory
+must be a fully-qualified path name beginning with a
+.Sq /
+or
+.Sq ~
+character, or the special value
+.Dq * .
+A value of
+.Dq *
+indicates that the user may specify the working directory by running
+.Nm sudo
+with the
+.Fl D
+option.
+By default, commands are run from the invoking user's current working
+directory, unless the
+.Fl i
+option is given.
+Path names of the form
+.Li ~user/path/name
+are interpreted as being relative to the named user's home directory.
+If the user name is omitted, the path will be relative to the runas
+user's home directory.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.9.3 or higher.
+.Ss Chroot_Spec
+The root directory that the command will be run in can be specified
+using the
+.Li CHROOT
+setting.
+The
+.Fa directory
+must be a fully-qualified path name beginning with a
+.Sq /
+or
+.Sq ~
+character, or the special value
+.Dq * .
+A value of
+.Dq *
+indicates that the user may specify the root directory by running
+.Nm sudo
+with the
+.Fl R
+option.
+This setting can be used to run the command in a
+.Xr chroot 2
+.Dq sandbox
+similar to the
+.Xr chroot @mansectsu@
+utility.
+Path names of the form
+.Li ~user/path/name
+are interpreted as being relative to the named user's home directory.
+If the user name is omitted, the path will be relative to the runas
+user's home directory.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.9.3 or higher.
+.Ss Tag_Spec
+A command may have zero or more tags associated with it.
+The following tag values are supported:
+.Li EXEC ,
+.Li NOEXEC ,
+.Li FOLLOW ,
+.Li NOFOLLOW ,
+.Li LOG_INPUT ,
+.Li NOLOG_INPUT ,
+.Li LOG_OUTPUT ,
+.Li NOLOG_OUTPUT ,
+.Li MAIL ,
+.Li NOMAIL ,
+.Li PASSWD ,
+.Li NOPASSWD ,
+.Li SETENV ,
+and
+.Li NOSETENV .
+Once a tag is set on a
+.Li Cmnd ,
+subsequent
+.Li Cmnd Ns s
+in the
+.Li Cmnd_Spec_List ,
+inherit the tag unless it is overridden by the opposite tag (in other words,
+.Li PASSWD
+overrides
+.Li NOPASSWD
+and
+.Li NOEXEC
+overrides
+.Li EXEC ) .
+.Bl -hang -width 0n
+.It Em EXEC No and Em NOEXEC
+.sp
+If
+.Nm sudo
+has been compiled with
+.Em noexec
+support and the underlying operating system supports it, the
+.Li NOEXEC
+tag can be used to prevent a dynamically-linked executable from
+running further commands itself.
+.Pp
+In the following example, user
+.Sy aaron
+may run
+.Pa /usr/bin/more
+and
+.Pa /usr/bin/vi
+but shell escapes will be disabled.
+.Bd -literal
+aaron shanty = NOEXEC: /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/vi
+.Ed
+.Pp
+See the
+.Sx Preventing shell escapes
+section below for more details on how
+.Li NOEXEC
+works and whether or not it will work on your system.
+.It Em FOLLOW No and Em NOFOLLOW
+Starting with version 1.8.15,
+.Nm sudoedit
+will not open a file that is a symbolic link unless the
+.Em sudoedit_follow
+flag is enabled.
+The
+.Em FOLLOW
+and
+.Em NOFOLLOW
+tags override the value of
+.Em sudoedit_follow
+and can be used to permit (or deny) the editing of symbolic links
+on a per-command basis.
+These tags are only effective for the
+.Em sudoedit
+command and are ignored for all other commands.
+.It Em LOG_INPUT No and Em NOLOG_INPUT
+.sp
+These tags override the value of the
+.Em log_input
+flag on a per-command basis.
+For more information, see the description of
+.Em log_input
+in the
+.Sx SUDOERS OPTIONS
+section below.
+.It Em LOG_OUTPUT No and Em NOLOG_OUTPUT
+.sp
+These tags override the value of the
+.Em log_output
+flag on a per-command basis.
+For more information, see the description of
+.Em log_output
+in the
+.Sx SUDOERS OPTIONS
+section below.
+.It Em MAIL No and Em NOMAIL
+.sp
+These tags provide fine-grained control over whether
+mail will be sent when a user runs a command by
+overriding the value of the
+.Em mail_all_cmnds
+flag on a per-command basis.
+They have no effect when
+.Nm sudo
+is run with the
+.Fl l
+or
+.Fl v
+options.
+A
+.Em NOMAIL
+tag will also override the
+.Em mail_always
+and
+.Em mail_no_perms
+options.
+For more information, see the descriptions of
+.Em mail_all_cmnds ,
+.Em mail_always ,
+and
+.Em mail_no_perms
+in the
+.Sx SUDOERS OPTIONS
+section below.
+.It Em PASSWD No and Em NOPASSWD
+.sp
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+requires that a user authenticate him or herself
+before running a command.
+This behavior can be modified via the
+.Li NOPASSWD
+tag.
+Like a
+.Li Runas_Spec ,
+the
+.Li NOPASSWD
+tag sets
+a default for the commands that follow it in the
+.Li Cmnd_Spec_List .
+Conversely, the
+.Li PASSWD
+tag can be used to reverse things.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal
+ray rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm
+.Ed
+.Pp
+would allow the user
+.Sy ray
+to run
+.Pa /bin/kill ,
+.Pa /bin/ls ,
+and
+.Pa /usr/bin/lprm
+as
+.Sy root
+on the machine rushmore without authenticating himself.
+If we only want
+.Sy ray
+to be able to
+run
+.Pa /bin/kill
+without a password the entry would be:
+.Bd -literal
+ray rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, PASSWD: /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note, however, that the
+.Li PASSWD
+tag has no effect on users who are in the group specified by the
+.Em exempt_group
+setting.
+.Pp
+By default, if the
+.Li NOPASSWD
+tag is applied to any of a user's entries for the current host,
+the user will be able to run
+.Dq Li sudo -l
+without a password.
+Additionally, a user may only run
+.Dq Li sudo -v
+without a password if all of the user's entries for the current
+host have the
+.Li NOPASSWD
+tag.
+This behavior may be overridden via the
+.Em verifypw
+and
+.Em listpw
+options.
+.It Em SETENV No and Em NOSETENV
+.sp
+These tags override the value of the
+.Em setenv
+flag on a per-command basis.
+Note that if
+.Li SETENV
+has been set for a command, the user may disable the
+.Em env_reset
+flag from the command line via the
+.Fl E
+option.
+Additionally, environment variables set on the command
+line are not subject to the restrictions imposed by
+.Em env_check ,
+.Em env_delete ,
+or
+.Em env_keep .
+As such, only trusted users should be allowed to set variables in this manner.
+If the command matched is
+.Sy ALL ,
+the
+.Li SETENV
+tag is implied for that command; this default may be overridden by use of the
+.Li NOSETENV
+tag.
+.El
+.Ss Wildcards
+.Nm sudo
+allows shell-style
+.Em wildcards
+(aka meta or glob characters)
+to be used in host names, path names and command line arguments in the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+Wildcard matching is done via the
+.Xr glob 3
+and
+.Xr fnmatch 3
+functions as specified by
+.St -p1003.1 .
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It Li *
+Matches any set of zero or more characters (including white space).
+.It Li \&?
+Matches any single character (including white space).
+.It Li [...]
+Matches any character in the specified range.
+.It Li [!...]
+Matches any character
+.Em not
+in the specified range.
+.It Li \ex
+For any character
+.Sq x ,
+evaluates to
+.Sq x .
+This is used to escape special characters such as:
+.Ql * ,
+.Ql \&? ,
+.Ql [\& ,
+and
+.Ql ]\& .
+.El
+.Pp
+.Bf -symbolic
+Note that these are not regular expressions.
+.Ef
+Unlike a regular expression there is no way to match one or more
+characters within a range.
+.Pp
+Character classes may be used if your system's
+.Xr glob 3
+and
+.Xr fnmatch 3
+functions support them.
+However, because the
+.Ql :\&
+character has special meaning in
+.Em sudoers ,
+it must be
+escaped.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+/bin/ls [[\e:\&alpha\e:\&]]*
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Would match any file name beginning with a letter.
+.Pp
+Note that a forward slash
+.Pq Ql /
+will
+.Em not
+be matched by
+wildcards used in the file name portion of the command.
+This is to make a path like:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+/usr/bin/*
+.Ed
+.Pp
+match
+.Pa /usr/bin/who
+but not
+.Pa /usr/bin/X11/xterm .
+.Pp
+When matching the command line arguments, however, a slash
+.Em does
+get matched by wildcards since command line arguments may contain
+arbitrary strings and not just path names.
+.Pp
+.Bf -symbolic
+Wildcards in command line arguments should be used with care.
+.Ef
+.br
+Command line arguments are matched as a single, concatenated string.
+This mean a wildcard character such as
+.Ql \&?
+or
+.Ql *
+will match across word boundaries, which may be unexpected.
+For example, while a sudoers entry like:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+%operator ALL = /bin/cat /var/log/messages*
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will allow command like:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+$ sudo cat /var/log/messages.1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+It will also allow:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+$ sudo cat /var/log/messages /etc/shadow
+.Ed
+.Pp
+which is probably not what was intended.
+In most cases it is better to do command line processing
+outside of the
+.Em sudoers
+file in a scripting language.
+.Ss Exceptions to wildcard rules
+The following exceptions apply to the above rules:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It Li \&""
+If the empty string
+.Li \&""
+is the only command line argument in the
+.Em sudoers
+file entry it means that command is not allowed to be run with
+.Em any
+arguments.
+.It sudoedit
+Command line arguments to the
+.Em sudoedit
+built-in command should always be path names, so a forward slash
+.Pq Ql /
+will not be matched by a wildcard.
+.El
+.Ss Including other files from within sudoers
+It is possible to include other
+.Em sudoers
+files from within the
+.Em sudoers
+file currently being parsed using the
+.Li @include
+and
+.Li @includedir
+directives.
+For compatibility with sudo versions prior to 1.9.1,
+.Li #include
+and
+.Li #includedir
+are also accepted.
+.Pp
+An include file can be used, for example, to keep a site-wide
+.Em sudoers
+file in addition to a local, per-machine file.
+For the sake of this example the site-wide
+.Em sudoers
+file will be
+.Pa /etc/sudoers
+and the per-machine one will be
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.local .
+To include
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.local
+from within
+.Pa /etc/sudoers
+one would use the following line in
+.Pa /etc/sudoers :
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+@include /etc/sudoers.local
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When
+.Nm sudo
+reaches this line it will suspend processing of the current file
+.Pq Pa /etc/sudoers
+and switch to
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.local .
+Upon reaching the end of
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.local ,
+the rest of
+.Pa /etc/sudoers
+will be processed.
+Files that are included may themselves include other files.
+A hard limit of 128 nested include files is enforced to prevent include
+file loops.
+.Pp
+The path to the include file may contain white space if it is
+escaped with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e .
+Alternately, the entire path may be enclosed in double quotes
+.Pq \&"" ,
+in which case no escaping is necessary.
+To include a literal backslash in the path,
+.Ql \e\e
+should be used.
+.Pp
+If the path to the include file is not fully-qualified (does not
+begin with a
+.Ql / ) ,
+it must be located in the same directory as the sudoers file it was
+included from.
+For example, if
+.Pa /etc/sudoers
+contains the line:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+.Li @include sudoers.local
+.Ed
+.Pp
+the file that will be included is
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.local .
+.Pp
+The file name may also include the
+.Li %h
+escape, signifying the short form of the host name.
+In other words, if the machine's host name is
+.Dq xerxes ,
+then
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+@include /etc/sudoers.%h
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will cause
+.Nm sudo
+to include the file
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.xerxes .
+.Pp
+The
+.Li @includedir
+directive can be used to create a
+.Pa sudoers.d
+directory that the system package manager can drop
+.Em sudoers
+file rules into as part of package installation.
+For example, given:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+@includedir /etc/sudoers.d
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Nm sudo
+will suspend processing of the current file and read each file in
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.d ,
+skipping file names that end in
+.Ql ~
+or contain a
+.Ql .\&
+character to avoid causing problems with package manager or editor
+temporary/backup files.
+Files are parsed in sorted lexical order.
+That is,
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.d/01_first
+will be parsed before
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.d/10_second .
+Be aware that because the sorting is lexical, not numeric,
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.d/1_whoops
+would be loaded
+.Em after
+.Pa /etc/sudoers.d/10_second .
+Using a consistent number of leading zeroes in the file names can be used
+to avoid such problems.
+After parsing the files in the directory, control returns to the
+file that contained the
+.Li @includedir
+directive.
+.Pp
+Note that unlike files included via
+.Li @include ,
+.Nm visudo
+will not edit the files in a
+.Li @includedir
+directory unless one of them contains a syntax error.
+It is still possible to run
+.Nm visudo
+with the
+.Fl f
+flag to edit the files directly, but this will not catch the
+redefinition of an
+.Em alias
+that is also present in a different file.
+.Ss Other special characters and reserved words
+The pound sign
+.Pq Ql #
+is used to indicate a comment (unless it is part of a #include
+directive or unless it occurs in the context of a user name and is
+followed by one or more digits, in which case it is treated as a
+user-ID).
+Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
+the line, are ignored.
+.Pp
+The reserved word
+.Sy ALL
+is a built-in
+.Em alias
+that always causes a match to succeed.
+It can be used wherever one might otherwise use a
+.Li Cmnd_Alias ,
+.Li User_Alias ,
+.Li Runas_Alias ,
+or
+.Li Host_Alias .
+Attempting to define an
+.Em alias
+named
+.Sy ALL
+will result in a syntax error.
+Please note that using
+.Sy ALL
+can be dangerous since in a command context, it allows the user to run
+.Em any
+command on the system.
+.Pp
+The following option names permitted in an
+.Li Option_Spec
+are also considered reserved words:
+.Li CHROOT ,
+.if \n(PS \{\
+.Li PRIVS ,
+.Li LIMITPRIVS ,
+.\}
+.if \n(SL \{\
+.Li ROLE ,
+.Li TYPE ,
+.\}
+.Li TIMEOUT ,
+.Li CWD ,
+.Li NOTBEFORE
+and
+.Li NOTAFTER .
+Attempting to define an
+.Em alias
+with the same name as one of the options will result in a syntax error.
+.Pp
+An exclamation point
+.Pq Ql \&!
+can be used as a logical
+.Em not
+operator in a list or
+.Em alias
+as well as in front of a
+.Li Cmnd .
+This allows one to exclude certain values.
+For the
+.Ql \&!
+operator to be effective, there must be something for it to exclude.
+For example, to match all users except for root one would use:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+ALL,!root
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If the
+.Sy ALL ,
+is omitted, as in:
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+!root
+.Ed
+.Pp
+it would explicitly deny root but not match any other users.
+This is different from a true
+.Dq negation
+operator.
+.Pp
+Note, however, that using a
+.Ql \&!
+in conjunction with the built-in
+.Sy ALL
+alias to allow a user to run
+.Dq all but a few
+commands rarely works as intended (see
+.Sx SECURITY NOTES
+below).
+.Pp
+Long lines can be continued with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+as the last character on the line.
+.Pp
+White space between elements in a list as well as special syntactic
+characters in a
+.Em User Specification
+.Po
+.Ql =\& ,
+.Ql :\& ,
+.Ql (\& ,
+.Ql )\&
+.Pc
+is optional.
+.Pp
+The following characters must be escaped with a backslash
+.Pq Ql \e
+when used as part of a word (e.g., a user name or host name):
+.Ql \&! ,
+.Ql =\& ,
+.Ql :\& ,
+.Ql ,\& ,
+.Ql (\& ,
+.Ql )\& ,
+.Ql \e .
+.Sh SUDOERS OPTIONS
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+behavior can be modified by
+.Li Default_Entry
+lines, as explained earlier.
+A list of all supported Defaults parameters, grouped by type, are listed below.
+.Pp
+.Sy Boolean Flags :
+.Bl -tag -width 16n
+.It always_query_group_plugin
+If a
+.Em group_plugin
+is configured, use it to resolve groups of the form %group as long
+as there is not also a system group of the same name.
+Normally, only groups of the form %:group are passed to the
+.Em group_plugin .
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It always_set_home
+If enabled,
+.Nm sudo
+will set the
+.Ev HOME
+environment variable to the home directory of the target user
+(which is the root user unless the
+.Fl u
+option is used).
+This flag is largely obsolete and has no effect unless the
+.Em env_reset
+flag has been disabled or
+.Ev HOME
+is present in the
+.Em env_keep
+list, both of which are strongly discouraged.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It authenticate
+If set, users must authenticate themselves via a password (or other
+means of authentication) before they may run commands.
+This default may be overridden via the
+.Li PASSWD
+and
+.Li NOPASSWD
+tags.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It case_insensitive_group
+If enabled, group names in
+.Em sudoers
+will be matched in a case insensitive manner.
+This may be necessary when users are stored in LDAP or AD.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It case_insensitive_user
+If enabled, user names in
+.Em sudoers
+will be matched in a case insensitive manner.
+This may be necessary when groups are stored in LDAP or AD.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It closefrom_override
+If set, the user may use the
+.Fl C
+option which overrides the default starting point at which
+.Nm sudo
+begins closing open file descriptors.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It compress_io
+If set, and
+.Nm sudo
+is configured to log a command's input or output,
+the I/O logs will be compressed using
+.Sy zlib .
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default when
+.Nm sudo
+is compiled with
+.Sy zlib
+support.
+.It exec_background
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+runs a command as the foreground process as long as
+.Nm sudo
+itself is running in the foreground.
+When the
+.Em exec_background
+flag is enabled and the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal
+(due to I/O logging or the
+.Em use_pty
+flag), the command will be run as a background process.
+Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal
+settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
+.Dv SIGTTIN
+signal (or
+.Dv SIGTTOU
+in the case of terminal settings).
+If this happens when
+.Nm sudo
+is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
+and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
+The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
+.Nm sudo
+need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
+Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
+has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
+to tell whether the command really wants the input).
+This is different from historic
+.Em sudo
+behavior or when the command is not being run in a pseudo-terminal.
+.Pp
+For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
+automatic restarting of system calls.
+Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
+and even those that do may have bugs.
+For example, macOS fails to restart the
+.Fn tcgetattr
+and
+.Fn tcsetattr
+system calls (this is a bug in macOS).
+Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
+.Dv SIGTTIN
+or
+.Dv SIGTTOU
+signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
+with a different signal (usually
+.Dv SIGTOP )
+will not be automatically foregrounded.
+Some versions of the linux
+.Xr su 1
+command behave this way.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
+It has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or the
+.Em use_pty
+flag is enabled.
+.It env_editor
+If set,
+.Nm visudo
+will use the value of the
+.Ev SUDO_EDITOR ,
+.Ev VISUAL
+or
+.Ev EDITOR
+environment variables before falling back on the default editor list.
+Note that
+.Nm visudo
+is typically run as root so this flag may allow a user with
+.Nm visudo
+privileges to run arbitrary commands as root without logging.
+An alternative is to place a colon-separated list of
+.Dq safe
+editors int the
+.Em editor
+variable.
+.Nm visudo
+will then only use
+.Ev SUDO_EDITOR ,
+.Ev VISUAL
+or
+.Ev EDITOR
+if they match a value specified in
+.Em editor .
+If the
+.Em env_reset
+flag is enabled, the
+.Ev SUDO_EDITOR ,
+.Ev VISUAL
+and/or
+.Ev EDITOR
+environment variables must be present in the
+.Em env_keep
+list for the
+.Em env_editor
+flag to function when
+.Nm visudo
+is invoked via
+.Nm sudo .
+This flag is
+.Em @env_editor@
+by default.
+.It env_reset
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will run the command in a minimal environment containing the
+.Ev TERM ,
+.Ev PATH ,
+.Ev HOME ,
+.Ev MAIL ,
+.Ev SHELL ,
+.Ev LOGNAME ,
+.Ev USER
+and
+.Ev SUDO_*
+variables.
+Any variables in the caller's environment or in the file specified
+by the
+.Em restricted_env_file
+setting that match the
+.Li env_keep
+and
+.Li env_check
+lists are then added, followed by any variables present in the file
+specified by the
+.Em env_file
+setting (if any).
+The contents of the
+.Li env_keep
+and
+.Li env_check
+lists, as modified by global Defaults parameters in
+.Em sudoers ,
+are displayed when
+.Nm sudo
+is run by root with the
+.Fl V
+option.
+If the
+.Em secure_path
+setting is enabled, its value will be used for the
+.Ev PATH
+environment variable.
+This flag is
+.Em @env_reset@
+by default.
+.It fast_glob
+Normally,
+.Nm sudo
+uses the
+.Xr glob 3
+function to do shell-style globbing when matching path names.
+However, since it accesses the file system,
+.Xr glob 3
+can take a long time to complete for some patterns, especially
+when the pattern references a network file system that is mounted
+on demand (auto mounted).
+The
+.Em fast_glob
+flag causes
+.Nm sudo
+to use the
+.Xr fnmatch 3
+function, which does not access the file system to do its matching.
+The disadvantage of
+.Em fast_glob
+is that it is unable to match relative path names such as
+.Pa ./ls
+or
+.Pa ../bin/ls .
+This has security implications when path names that include globbing
+characters are used with the negation operator,
+.Ql !\& ,
+as such rules can be trivially bypassed.
+As such, this flag should not be used when the
+.Em sudoers
+file contains rules that contain negated path names which include globbing
+characters.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It fqdn
+Set this flag if you want to put fully qualified host names in the
+.Em sudoers
+file when the local host name (as returned by the
+.Li hostname
+command) does not contain the domain name.
+In other words, instead of myhost you would use myhost.mydomain.edu.
+You may still use the short form if you wish (and even mix the two).
+This flag is only effective when the
+.Dq canonical
+host name, as returned by the
+.Fn getaddrinfo
+or
+.Fn gethostbyname
+function, is a fully-qualified domain name.
+This is usually the case when the system is configured to use DNS
+for host name resolution.
+.Pp
+If the system is configured to use the
+.Pa /etc/hosts
+file in preference to DNS, the
+.Dq canonical
+host name may not be fully-qualified.
+The order that sources are queried for host name resolution
+is usually specified in the
+.Pa @nsswitch_conf@ ,
+.Pa @netsvc_conf@ ,
+.Pa /etc/host.conf ,
+or, in some cases,
+.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
+file.
+In the
+.Pa /etc/hosts
+file, the first host name of the entry is considered to be the
+.Dq canonical
+name; subsequent names are aliases that are not used by
+.Nm .
+For example, the following hosts file line for the machine
+.Dq xyzzy
+has the fully-qualified domain name as the
+.Dq canonical
+host name, and the short version as an alias.
+.sp
+.Dl 192.168.1.1 xyzzy.sudo.ws xyzzy
+.sp
+If the machine's hosts file entry is not formatted properly, the
+.Em fqdn
+flag will not be effective if it is queried before DNS.
+.Pp
+Beware that when using DNS for host name resolution, turning on
+.Em fqdn
+requires
+.Nm
+to make DNS lookups which renders
+.Nm sudo
+unusable if DNS stops working (for example if the machine is disconnected
+from the network).
+Also note that just like with the hosts file, you must use the
+.Dq canonical
+name as DNS knows it.
+That is, you may not use a host alias
+.Po
+.Li CNAME
+entry
+.Pc
+due to performance issues and the fact that there is no way to get all
+aliases from DNS.
+.Pp
+This flag is
+.Em @fqdn@
+by default.
+.It ignore_audit_errors
+Allow commands to be run even if
+.Nm
+cannot write to the audit log.
+If enabled, an audit log write failure is not treated as a fatal error.
+If disabled, a command may only be run after the audit event is successfully
+written.
+This flag is only effective on systems for which
+.Nm
+supports audit logging, including
+.Fx ,
+Linux, macOS and Solaris.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It ignore_dot
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will ignore "." or "" (both denoting current directory) in the
+.Ev PATH
+environment variable; the
+.Ev PATH
+itself is not modified.
+This flag is
+.Em @ignore_dot@
+by default.
+.It ignore_iolog_errors
+Allow commands to be run even if
+.Nm
+cannot write to the I/O log (local or remote).
+If enabled, an I/O log write failure is not treated as a fatal error.
+If disabled, the command will be terminated if the I/O log cannot be written to.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It ignore_logfile_errors
+Allow commands to be run even if
+.Nm
+cannot write to the log file.
+If enabled, a log file write failure is not treated as a fatal error.
+If disabled, a command may only be run after the log file entry is successfully
+written.
+This flag only has an effect when
+.Nm
+is configured to use file-based logging via the
+.Em logfile
+setting.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It ignore_local_sudoers
+If set via LDAP, parsing of
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+will be skipped.
+This is intended for Enterprises that wish to prevent the usage of local
+sudoers files so that only LDAP is used.
+This thwarts the efforts of rogue operators who would attempt to add roles to
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers .
+When this flag is enabled,
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+does not even need to exist.
+Since this flag tells
+.Nm sudo
+how to behave when no specific LDAP entries have been matched, this
+sudoOption is only meaningful for the
+.Li cn=defaults
+section.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It ignore_unknown_defaults
+If set,

+.It insults
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will insult users when they enter an incorrect password.
+This flag is

+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It log_input
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will run the command in a pseudo-terminal and log all user input.
+If the standard input is not connected to the user's tty, due to
+I/O redirection or because the command is part of a pipeline, that
+input is also captured and stored in a separate log file.
+Anything sent to the standard input will be consumed, regardless of
+whether or not the command run via
+.Nm sudo
+is actually reading the standard input.
+This may have unexpected results when using
+.Nm sudo
+in a shell script that expects to process the standard input.
+For more information about I/O logging, see the

+will enable the TCP keepalive socket option on the connection to the log server.
+This enables the periodic transmission of keepalive messages to the server.
+If the server does not respond to a message, the connection will
+be closed and the running command will be terminated unless the

+This setting is only supported by version 1.9.0 or higher.
+.It log_server_verify
+If set, the server certificate received during the TLS handshake
+must be valid and it must contain either the server name (from

+or its IP address.
+If either of these conditions is not met, the TLS handshake will fail.
+This flag is

+.Em off
+by default.
+.It long_otp_prompt
+When validating with a One Time Password (OTP) scheme such as
+.Sy S/Key
+or

+a two-line prompt is used to make it easier
+to cut and paste the challenge to a local window.
+It's not as pretty as the default but some people find it more convenient.

+and one of the
+.Em mail_all_cmnds ,

+.Em sudoers
+file, but is not allowed to run commands on the current host.
+This flag is
+.Em @mail_no_host@
+by default.
+.It mail_no_perms
+If set, mail will be sent to the
+.Em mailto
+user if the invoking user is allowed to use
+.Nm sudo
+but the command they are trying is not listed in their
+.Em sudoers
+file entry or is explicitly denied.
+This flag is

+by default.
+.It mail_no_user
+If set, mail will be sent to the

+.Em sudoers
+file.
+This flag is
+.Em @mail_no_user@
+by default.
+.It match_group_by_gid
+By default,
+.Nm
+will look up each group the user is a member of by group-ID to
+determine the group name (this is only done once).
+The resulting list of the user's group names is used when matching
+groups listed in the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+This works well on systems where the number of groups listed in the
+.Em sudoers
+file is larger than the number of groups a typical user belongs to.
+On systems where group lookups are slow, where users may belong
+to a large number of groups, and where the number of groups listed
+in the
+.Em sudoers
+file is relatively small, it may be prohibitively expensive and
+running commands via
+.Nm sudo
+may take longer than normal.
+On such systems it may be faster to use the
+.Em match_group_by_gid
+flag to avoid resolving the user's group-IDs to group names.
+In this case,
+.Nm
+must look up any group name listed in the
+.Em sudoers
+file and use the group-ID instead of the group name when determining
+whether the user is a member of the group.
+.Pp
+Note that if
+.Em match_group_by_gid
+is enabled, group database lookups performed by
+.Nm
+will be keyed by group name as opposed to group-ID.
+On systems where there are multiple sources for the group database,
+it is possible to have conflicting group names or group-IDs in the local
+.Pa /etc/group
+file and the remote group database.
+On such systems, enabling or disabling
+.Em match_group_by_gid
+can be used to choose whether group database queries are performed
+by name (enabled) or ID (disabled), which may aid in working around
+group entry conflicts.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em match_group_by_gid
+flag has no effect when
+.Em sudoers
+data is stored in LDAP.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.18 or higher.
+.It netgroup_tuple
+If set, netgroup lookups will be performed using the full netgroup
+tuple: host name, user name and domain (if one is set).
+Historically,
+.Nm sudo
+only matched the user name and domain for netgroups used in a
+.Li User_List
+and only matched the host name and domain for netgroups used in a
+.Li Host_List .
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It noexec
+If set, all commands run via
+.Nm sudo
+will behave as if the
+.Li NOEXEC
+tag has been set, unless overridden by an
+.Li EXEC
+tag.
+See the description of
+.Em EXEC and NOEXEC
+above as well as the
+.Sx Preventing shell escapes
+section at the end of this manual.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It pam_acct_mgmt
+On systems that use PAM for authentication,
+.Nm sudo
+will perform PAM account validation for the invoking user by default.
+The actual checks performed depend on which PAM modules are configured.
+If enabled, account validation will be performed regardless of whether
+or not a password is required.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.28 or higher.
+.It pam_rhost
+On systems that use PAM for authentication,
+.Nm sudo
+will set the PAM remote host value to the name of the local host
+when the
+.Em pam_rhost
+flag is enabled.
+On Linux systems, enabling
+.Em pam_rhost
+may result in DNS lookups of the local host name when PAM is initialized.
+On Solaris versions prior to Solaris 8,
+.Em pam_rhost
+must be enabled if
+.Em pam_ruser
+is also enabled to avoid a crash in the Solaris PAM implementation.
+.Pp
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default on systems other than Solaris.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.9.0 or higher.
+.It pam_ruser
+On systems that use PAM for authentication,
+.Nm sudo
+will set the PAM remote user value to the name of the user that invoked sudo
+when the
+.Em pam_ruser
+flag is enabled.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.9.0 or higher.
+.It pam_session
+On systems that use PAM for authentication,
+.Nm sudo
+will create a new PAM session for the command to be run in.
+Unless
+.Nm sudo
+is given the
+.Fl i
+or
+.Fl s
+options, PAM session modules are run with the
+.Dq silent
+flag enabled.
+This prevents last login information from being displayed for every
+command on some systems.
+Disabling
+.Em pam_session
+may be needed on older PAM implementations or on operating systems where
+opening a PAM session changes the utmp or wtmp files.
+If PAM session support is disabled, resource limits may not be updated
+for the command being run.
+If
+.Em pam_session ,
+.Em pam_setcred ,
+and
+.Em use_pty
+are disabled,
+.Em log_servers
+has not been set and I/O logging has not been configured,
+.Nm sudo
+will execute the command directly instead of running it as a child

+This flag is
+.Em @pam_session@
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.7 or higher.
+.It pam_setcred
+On systems that use PAM for authentication,
+.Nm sudo
+will attempt to establish credentials for the target user by default,
+if supported by the underlying authentication system.
+One example of a credential is a Kerberos ticket.
+If
+.Em pam_session ,
+.Em pam_setcred ,
+and
+.Em use_pty
+are disabled,

+or the
+.Ev SUDO_PROMPT
+environment variable will always be used and will replace the
+prompt provided by a PAM module or other authentication method.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It path_info
+Normally,
+.Nm sudo
+will tell the user when a command could not be
+found in their
+.Ev PATH
+environment variable.
+Some sites may wish to disable this as it could be used to gather
+information on the location of executables that the normal user does
+not have access to.
+The disadvantage is that if the executable is simply not in the user's
+.Ev PATH ,
+.Nm sudo
+will tell the user that they are not allowed to run it, which can be confusing.
+This flag is
+.Em @path_info@
+by default.
+.It preserve_groups
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+will initialize the group vector to the list of groups the target user is in.
+When
+.Em preserve_groups
+is set, the user's existing group vector is left unaltered.
+The real and effective group-IDs, however, are still set to match the
+target user.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It pwfeedback
+By default,
+.Nm sudo
+reads the password like most other Unix programs,
+by turning off echo until the user hits the return (or enter) key.
+Some users become confused by this as it appears to them that
+.Nm sudo
+has hung at this point.
+When
+.Em pwfeedback
+is set,
+.Nm sudo
+will provide visual feedback when the user presses a key.
+Note that this does have a security impact as an onlooker may be able to
+determine the length of the password being entered.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It requiretty
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will only run when the user is logged in to a real tty.
+When this flag is set,

+can only be run from a login session and not via other means such as
+.Xr cron @mansectsu@
+or cgi-bin scripts.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It root_sudo
+If set, root is allowed to run
+.Nm sudo
+too.
+Disabling this prevents users from
+.Dq chaining
+.Nm sudo
+commands to get a root shell by doing something like
+.Dq Li sudo sudo /bin/sh .
+Note, however, that turning off
+.Em root_sudo
+will also prevent root from running
+.Nm sudoedit .
+Disabling
+.Em root_sudo
+provides no real additional security; it exists purely for historical reasons.
+This flag is
+.Em @root_sudo@
+by default.
+.It rootpw
+If set,
+.Nm sudo
+will prompt for the root password instead of the password of the invoking user
+when running a command or editing a file.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It runas_allow_unknown_id
+If enabled, allow matching of runas user and group IDs that are
+not present in the password or group databases.
+In addition to explicitly matching unknown user or group IDs in a
+.Li Runas_List ,
+this option also allows the
+.Sy ALL
+alias to match unknown IDs.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.30 or higher.
+Older versions of
+.Nm sudo
+always allowed matching of unknown user and group IDs.
+.It runas_check_shell
+If enabled,
+.Nm sudo
+will only run commands as a user whose shell appears in the
+.Pa /etc/shells
+file, even if the invoking user's
+.Li Runas_List
+would otherwise permit it.
+If no
+.Pa /etc/shells
+file is present, a system-dependent list of built-in default shells is used.
+On many operating systems, system users such as
+.Dq bin ,
+do not have a valid shell and this flag can be used to prevent
+commands from being run as those users.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.Pp
+This setting is only supported by version 1.8.30 or higher.
+.It runaspw
+If set,

+is invoked with the
+.Fl s
+option, the
+.Ev HOME
+environment variable will be set to the home directory of the target
+user (which is the root user unless the
+.Fl u
+option is used).
+This flag is largely obsolete and has no effect unless the
+.Em env_reset
+flag has been disabled or
+.Ev HOME
+is present in the
+.Em env_keep
+list, both of which are strongly discouraged.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It set_logname
+Normally,
+.Nm sudo
+will set the
+.Ev LOGNAME
+and
+.Ev USER
+environment variables to the name of the target user (usually root unless the
+.Fl u
+option is given).
+However, since some programs (including the RCS revision control system) use
+.Ev LOGNAME
+to determine the real identity of the user, it may be desirable to
+change this behavior.
+This can be done by negating the set_logname option.
+Note that
+.Em set_logname
+will have no effect
+if the
+.Em env_reset
+option has not been disabled and the
+.Em env_keep
+list contains
+.Ev LOGNAME
+or
+.Ev USER .
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It set_utmp
+When enabled,
+.Nm sudo
+will create an entry in the utmp (or utmpx) file when a pseudo-terminal
+is allocated.
+A pseudo-terminal is allocated by
+.Nm sudo
+when it is running in a terminal and one or more of the
+.Em log_input ,
+.Em log_output
+or
+.Em use_pty
+flags is enabled.
+By default, the new entry will be a copy of the user's existing utmp
+entry (if any), with the tty, time, type and pid fields updated.
+This flag is
+.Em on
+by default.
+.It setenv
+Allow the user to disable the
+.Em env_reset
+option from the command line via the
+.Fl E
+option.
+Additionally, environment variables set via the command line are
+not subject to the restrictions imposed by
+.Em env_check ,
+.Em env_delete ,
+or
+.Em env_keep .
+As such, only trusted users should be allowed to set variables in this manner.
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It shell_noargs
+If set and
+.Nm sudo
+is invoked with no arguments it acts as if the
+.Fl s
+option had been given.
+That is, it runs a shell as root (the shell is determined by the
+.Ev SHELL
+environment variable if it is set, falling back on the shell listed
+in the invoking user's /etc/passwd entry if not).
+This flag is
+.Em off
+by default.
+.It stay_setuid
+Normally, when
+.Nm sudo
+executes a command the real and effective UIDs are set to the target
+user (root by default).
+This option changes that behavior such that the real UID is left
+as the invoking user's UID.
+In other words, this makes
+.Nm sudo

+.Pp
+This setting can be useful when the I/O logs are stored on a Network

+.Pp
+.Sy Lists that can be used in a boolean context :
+.Bl -tag -width 16n
+.It env_check
+Environment variables to be removed from the user's environment
+unless they are considered
+.Dq safe .
+For all variables except
+.Li TZ ,
+.Dq safe
+means that the variable's value does not contain any
+.Ql %

+The path to the group file should be specified as an option
+to the plugin.
+For example, if the group file to be used is
+.Pa /etc/sudo-group :
+.Bd -literal
+Defaults group_plugin="group_file.so /etc/sudo-group"
+.Ed
+.It system_group
+The
+.Em system_group

+administrator via email.
+Possible errors include:
+.Bl -tag -width 4
+.It parse error in @sysconfdir@/sudoers near line N
+.Nm
+encountered an error when parsing the specified file.
+In some cases, the actual error may be one line above or below the
+line number listed, depending on the type of error.
+.It problem with defaults entries
+The
+.Em sudoers
+file contains one or more unknown Defaults settings.
+This does not prevent
+.Nm sudo
+from running, but the
+.Em sudoers
+file should be checked using
+.Nm visudo .
+.It timestamp owner (username): \&No such user
+The time stamp directory owner, as specified by the
+.Em timestampowner
+setting, could not be found in the password database.
+.It unable to open/read @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+The
+.Em sudoers
+file could not be opened for reading.
+This can happen when the
+.Em sudoers
+file is located on a remote file system that maps user-ID 0 to
+a different value.
+Normally,
+.Nm
+tries to open the
+.Em sudoers
+file using group permissions to avoid this problem.
+Consider either changing the ownership of
+.Pa @sysconfdir@/sudoers
+or adding an argument like
+.Dq sudoers_uid=N
+(where
+.Sq N
+is the user-ID that owns the
+.Em sudoers
+file) to the end of the

+.It @sysconfdir@/sudoers is world writable
+The permissions on the
+.Em sudoers
+file allow all users to write to it.
+The
+.Em sudoers
+file must not be world-writable, the default file mode
+is 0440 (readable by owner and group, writable by none).
+The default mode may be changed via the
+.Dq sudoers_mode
+option to the
+.Nm
+.Li Plugin
+line in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file.
+.It @sysconfdir@/sudoers is owned by gid N, should be 1
+The
+.Em sudoers

+This can happen when
+.Em timestampowner
+is set to a user other than root and the mode on
+.Pa @rundir@
+is not searchable by group or other.
+The default mode for
+.Pa @rundir@
+is 0711.
+.It unable to write to @rundir@/ts/username
+.Nm
+was unable to write to the user's time stamp file.
+.It @rundir@/ts is owned by uid X, should be Y
+The time stamp directory is owned by a user other than

+.El
+.Ss Notes on logging via syslog
+By default,
+.Nm
+logs messages via
+.Xr syslog 3 .
+The
+.Em date ,
+.Em hostname ,
+and
+.Em progname
+fields are added by the system's
+.Fn syslog
+function, not
+.Nm
+itself.
+As such, they may vary in format on different systems.
+.Pp
+The maximum size of syslog messages varies from system to system.
+The
+.Em syslog_maxlen
+setting can be used to change the maximum syslog message size
+from the default value of 980 bytes.
+For more information, see the description of
+.Em syslog_maxlen .
+.Ss Notes on logging to a file
+If the
+.Em logfile
+option is set,
+.Nm
+will log to a local file, such as
+.Pa /var/log/sudo .
+When logging to a file,
+.Nm
+uses a format similar to
+.Xr syslog 3 ,
+with a few important differences:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+The
+.Em progname
+and
+.Em hostname
+fields are not present.
+.It
+If the
+.Em log_year
+option is enabled,
+the date will also include the year.
+.It
+Lines that are longer than
+.Em loglinelen
+characters (80 by default) are word-wrapped and continued on the
+next line with a four character indent.
+This makes entries easier to read for a human being, but makes it
+more difficult to use
+.Xr grep 1
+on the log files.
+If the
+.Em loglinelen
+option is set to 0 (or negated with a
+.Ql \&! ) ,
+word wrap will be disabled.
+.El
+.Sh I/O LOG FILES
+When I/O logging is enabled,
+.Nm sudo
+will run the command in a pseudo-terminal and log all user input and/or output,
+depending on which options are enabled.
+I/O can be logged either to the local machine or to a remote log server.
+For local logs, I/O is logged to the directory specified by the
+.Em iolog_dir
+option
+.Po
+.Pa @iolog_dir@
+by default
+.Pc
+using a unique session ID that is included in the
+.Nm sudo
+log line, prefixed with
+.Dq Li TSID= .
+The
+.Em iolog_file
+option may be used to control the format of the session ID.
+For remote logs, the
+.Em log_servers
+setting is used to specify one or more log servers running
+.Nm sudo_logsrvd
+or another server that implements the protocol described by
+.Xr sudo_logsrv.proto @mansectform@ .
+.Pp
+For both local and remote I/O logs, each log is stored in a separate
+directory that contains the following files:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It Pa log
+A text file containing information about the command.
+The first line consists of the following colon-delimited fields:
+the time the command was run, the name of the user
+who ran
+.Nm sudo ,
+the name of the target user, the name of the target group (optional),
+the terminal that
+.Nm sudo
+was run from, and the number of lines and columns of the terminal.
+The second and third lines contain the working directory the command
+was run from and the path name of the command itself (with arguments
+if present).
+.It Pa log.json
+A JSON-formatted file containing information about the command.
+This is similar to the
+.Pa log
+file but contains additional information and is easily extensible.
+The

+The file may contain the following elements:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It timestamp
+A JSON object containing time the command was run.
+It consists of two values,
+.Em seconds
+and
+.Em nanoseconds .
+.It columns
+The number of columns of the terminal the command ran on, or zero
+if no terminal was present.
+.It command
+The fully-qualified path of the command that was run.
+.It lines
+The number of lines of the terminal the command ran on, or zero
+if no terminal was present.
+.It runargv
+A JSON array representing the command's argument vector as passed to the
+.Xr execve 2
+system call.
+.It runenv
+A JSON array representing the command's environment as passed to the
+.Xr execve 2

+.It rungid
+The group ID the command ran as.
+This element is only present when the user specifies a group on the

+.It rungroup
+The name of the group the command ran as.
+This element is only present when the user specifies a group on the

+.It runuid
+The user ID the command ran as.
+.It runuser
+The name of the user the command ran as.
+.It submitcwd
+The current working directory at the time

+.It submithost
+The name of the host the command was run on.
+.It submituser
+The name of the user who ran the command via

+.It ttyname
+The path name of the terminal the user invoked
+.Nm sudo
+from.
+If the command was run in a pseudo-terminal,
+.Em ttyname
+will be different from the terminal the command actually ran in.
+.El
+.It Pa timing
+Timing information used to replay the session.
+Each line consists of the I/O log entry type and amount of time

+.El
+.It Pa ttyin
+Raw input from the user's terminal, exactly as it was received.
+No post-processing is performed.
+For manual viewing, you may wish to convert carriage return characters
+in the log to line feeds.
+For example:
+.Ql gunzip -c ttyin | tr \&"\er\&" \&"\en\&"
+.It Pa stdin
+The standard input when no terminal is present, or input redirected from
+a pipe or file.
+.It Pa ttyout
+Output from the pseudo-terminal (what the command writes to the screen).
+Note that terminal-specific post-processing is performed before the
+data is logged.
+This means that, for example, line feeds are usually converted to
+line feed/carriage return pairs and tabs may be expanded to spaces.
+.It Pa stdout
+The standard output when no terminal is present, or output redirected to
+a pipe or file.
+.It Pa stderr
+The standard error redirected to a pipe or file.
+.El
+.Pp
+All files other than
+.Pa log
+are compressed in gzip format unless the
+.Em compress_io
+flag has been disabled.
+Due to buffering, it is not normally possible to display the I/O logs in
+real-time as the program is executing.
+The I/O log data will not be complete until the program run by
+.Nm sudo
+has exited or has been terminated by a signal.
+The
+.Em iolog_flush
+flag can be used to disable buffering, in which case I/O log data
+is written to disk as soon as it is available.
+The output portion of an I/O log file can be viewed with the
+.Xr sudoreplay @mansectsu@
+utility, which can also be used to list or search the available logs.
+.Pp
+Note that user input may contain sensitive information such as
+passwords (even if they are not echoed to the screen), which will
+be stored in the log file unencrypted.
+In most cases, logging the command output via
+.Em log_output
+or
+.Li LOG_OUTPUT
+is all that is required.
+.Pp
+Since each session's I/O logs are stored in a separate directory,
+traditional log rotation utilities cannot be used to limit the
+number of I/O logs.
+The simplest way to limit the number of I/O is by setting the
+.Em maxseq
+option to the maximum number of logs you wish to store.
+Once the I/O log sequence number reaches
+.Em maxseq ,
+it will be reset to zero and
+.Nm
+will truncate and re-use any existing I/O logs.

+.Sh SECURITY NOTES
+.Ss Limitations of the So !\& Sc operator
+It is generally not effective to
+.Dq subtract
+commands from
+.Sy ALL
+using the
+.Ql !\&
+operator.
+A user can trivially circumvent this by copying the desired command
+to a different name and then executing that.
+For example:
+.Bd -literal
+bill ALL = ALL, !SU, !SHELLS
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Doesn't really prevent
+.Sy bill
+from running the commands listed in
+.Em SU
+or
+.Em SHELLS
+since he can simply copy those commands to a different name, or use
+a shell escape from an editor or other program.
+Therefore, these kind of restrictions should be considered
+advisory at best (and reinforced by policy).
+.Pp
+In general, if a user has sudo
+.Sy ALL
+there is nothing to prevent them from creating their own program that gives
+them a root shell (or making their own copy of a shell) regardless of any
+.Ql !\&
+elements in the user specification.
+.Ss Security implications of Em fast_glob
+If the
+.Em fast_glob
+option is in use, it is not possible to reliably negate commands where the
+path name includes globbing (aka wildcard) characters.
+This is because the C library's
+.Xr fnmatch 3
+function cannot resolve relative paths.
+While this is typically only an inconvenience for rules that grant privileges,
+it can result in a security issue for rules that subtract or revoke privileges.
+.Pp
+For example, given the following
+.Em sudoers
+file entry:
+.Bd -literal
+john ALL = /usr/bin/passwd [a-zA-Z0-9]*, /usr/bin/chsh [a-zA-Z0-9]*,\e
+ /usr/bin/chfn [a-zA-Z0-9]*, !/usr/bin/* root
+.Ed
+.Pp
+User
+.Sy john
+can still run
+.Li /usr/bin/passwd root
+if
+.Em fast_glob
+is enabled by changing to
+.Pa /usr/bin
+and running
+.Li ./passwd root
+instead.
+.Ss Preventing shell escapes
+Once
+.Nm sudo
+executes a program, that program is free to do whatever
+it pleases, including run other programs.
+This can be a security issue since it is not uncommon for a program to
+allow shell escapes, which lets a user bypass
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+access control and logging.
+Common programs that permit shell escapes include shells (obviously),
+editors, paginators, mail and terminal programs.
+.Pp
+There are two basic approaches to this problem:
+.Bl -tag -width 8n
+.It restrict
+Avoid giving users access to commands that allow the user to run
+arbitrary commands.
+Many editors have a restricted mode where shell
+escapes are disabled, though
+.Nm sudoedit
+is a better solution to
+running editors via
+.Nm sudo .
+Due to the large number of programs that
+offer shell escapes, restricting users to the set of programs that
+do not is often unworkable.
+.It noexec
+Many systems that support shared libraries have the ability to
+override default library functions by pointing an environment
+variable (usually
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD )
+to an alternate shared library.
+On such systems,
+.Nm sudo Ns 's
+.Em noexec
+functionality can be used to prevent a program run by
+.Nm sudo
+from executing any other programs.
+Note, however, that this applies only to dynamically-linked
+executables.
+Statically-linked executables and executables
+running under binary emulation are not affected.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em noexec
+feature is known to work on SunOS, Solaris, *BSD,
+Linux, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, macOS, HP-UX 11.x and AIX 5.3 and above.
+It should be supported on most operating systems that support the
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD
+environment variable.
+Check your operating system's manual pages for the dynamic linker
+(usually ld.so, ld.so.1, dyld, dld.sl, rld, or loader) to see if
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD
+is supported.
+.Pp
+On Solaris 10 and higher,
+.Em noexec
+uses Solaris privileges instead of the
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD
+environment variable.
+.Pp
+To enable
+.Em noexec
+for a command, use the
+.Li NOEXEC
+tag as documented
+in the User Specification section above.
+Here is that example again:
+.Bd -literal
+aaron shanty = NOEXEC: /usr/bin/more, /usr/bin/vi
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This allows user
+.Sy aaron
+to run
+.Pa /usr/bin/more
+and
+.Pa /usr/bin/vi
+with
+.Em noexec
+enabled.
+This will prevent those two commands from
+executing other commands (such as a shell).
+If you are unsure whether or not your system is capable of supporting
+.Em noexec
+you can always just try it out and check whether shell escapes work when
+.Em noexec
+is enabled.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that restricting shell escapes is not a panacea.
+Programs running as root are still capable of many potentially hazardous
+operations (such as changing or overwriting files) that could lead
+to unintended privilege escalation.
+In the specific case of an editor, a safer approach is to give the
+user permission to run
+.Nm sudoedit
+(see below).
+.Ss Secure editing
+The
+.Nm
+plugin includes
+.Nm sudoedit
+support which allows users to securely edit files with the editor
+of their choice.
+As
+.Nm sudoedit
+is a built-in command, it must be specified in the
+.Em sudoers
+file without a leading path.
+However, it may take command line arguments just as a normal command does.
+Wildcards used in
+.Em sudoedit
+command line arguments are expected to be path names, so a forward slash
+.Pq Ql /
+will not be matched by a wildcard.
+.Pp
+Unlike other
+.Nm sudo
+commands, the editor is run with the permissions of the invoking
+user and with the environment unmodified.
+More information may be found in the description of the
+.Fl e
+option in
+.Xr sudo @mansectsu@ .
+.Pp
+For example, to allow user operator to edit the
+.Dq message of the day
+file:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+operator sudoedit /etc/motd
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The operator user then runs
+.Nm sudoedit
+as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ sudoedit /etc/motd
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The editor will run as the operator user, not root, on a temporary copy of
+.Pa /etc/motd .
+After the file has been edited,
+.Pa /etc/motd
+will be updated with the contents of the temporary copy.
+.Pp
+Users should
+.Em never
+be granted
+.Nm sudoedit
+permission to edit a file that resides in a directory the user
+has write access to, either directly or via a wildcard.
+If the user has write access to the directory it is possible to
+replace the legitimate file with a link to another file,
+allowing the editing of arbitrary files.
+To prevent this, starting with version 1.8.16, symbolic links will
+not be followed in writable directories and
+.Nm sudoedit
+will refuse to edit a file located in a writable directory
+unless the
+.Em sudoedit_checkdir
+option has been disabled or the invoking user is root.
+Additionally, in version 1.8.15 and higher,
+.Nm sudoedit
+will refuse to open a symbolic link unless either the
+.Em sudoedit_follow
+option is enabled or the
+.Em sudoedit
+command is prefixed with the
+.Li FOLLOW
+tag in the
+.Em sudoers
+file.
+.Ss Time stamp file checks
+.Nm
+will check the ownership of its time stamp directory
+.Po
+.Pa @rundir@/ts
+by default
+.Pc
+and ignore the directory's contents if it is not owned by root or
+if it is writable by a user other than root.
+Older versions of
+.Nm sudo
+stored time stamp files in
+.Pa /tmp ;
+this is no longer recommended as it may be possible for a user
+to create the time stamp themselves on systems that allow
+unprivileged users to change the ownership of files they create.
+.Pp
+While the time stamp directory
+.Em should
+be cleared at reboot time, not all systems contain a
+.Pa /run
+or
+.Pa /var/run
+directory.
+To avoid potential problems,
+.Nm
+will ignore time stamp files that date from before the machine booted
+on systems where the boot time is available.
+.Pp
+Some systems with graphical desktop environments allow unprivileged
+users to change the system clock.
+Since
+.Nm
+relies on the system clock for time stamp validation, it may be
+possible on such systems for a user to run
+.Nm sudo
+for longer than
+.Em timestamp_timeout
+by setting the clock back.
+To combat this,
+.Nm
+uses a monotonic clock (which never moves backwards) for its time stamps
+if the system supports it.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+will not honor time stamps set far in the future.
+Time stamps with a date greater than current_time + 2 *
+.Li TIMEOUT
+will be ignored and
+.Nm
+will log and complain.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Em timestamp_type
+option is set to
+.Dq tty ,
+the time stamp record includes the device number of the terminal
+the user authenticated with.
+This provides per-terminal granularity but time stamp records may still
+outlive the user's session.
+.Pp
+Unless the
+.Em timestamp_type
+option is set to
+.Dq global ,
+the time stamp record also includes the session ID of the process
+that last authenticated.
+This prevents processes in different terminal sessions from using
+the same time stamp record.
+On systems where a process's start time can be queried,
+the start time of the session leader
+is recorded in the time stamp record.
+If no terminal is present or the
+.Em timestamp_type
+option is set to
+.Dq ppid ,
+the start time of the parent process is used instead.
+In most cases this will prevent a time stamp record from being re-used
+without the user entering a password when logging out and back in again.
+.Sh DEBUGGING
+Versions 1.8.4 and higher of the
+.Nm
+plugin support a flexible debugging framework that can help track
+down what the plugin is doing internally if there is a problem.
+This can be configured in the
+.Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
+file.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+plugin uses the same debug flag format as the
+.Nm sudo
+front-end:
+.Em subsystem Ns @ Ns Em priority .
+.Pp
+The priorities used by
+.Nm ,
+in order of decreasing severity,
+are:
+.Em crit , err , warn , notice , diag , info , trace
+and
+.Em debug .
+Each priority, when specified, also includes all priorities higher
+than it.
+For example, a priority of
+.Em notice
+would include debug messages logged at

+.Sy always
+be edited by the
+.Nm visudo
+utility which locks the file and checks for syntax errors.
+If
+.Em sudoers
+contains syntax errors,
+.Nm sudo
+may refuse to run, which is a serious problem if
+.Nm sudo
+is your only method of obtaining superuser privileges.
+Recent versions of
+.Nm
+will attempt to recover after a syntax error by ignoring the rest of
+the line after encountering an error.
+Older versions of
+.Nm sudo
+will not run if
+.Em sudoers
+contains a syntax error.
+.Pp
+When using netgroups of machines (as opposed to users), if you
+store fully qualified host name in the netgroup (as is usually the

+.SH "NAME"
+\fBsudoers_timestamp\fR
+\- Sudoers Time Stamp Format
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+\fBsudoers\fR
+plugin uses per-user time stamp files for credential caching.
+Once a user has been authenticated, they may use
+\fBsudo\fR
+without a password for a short period of time
+(\fR@timeout@\fR
+minutes unless overridden by the
+\fItimestamp_timeout\fR
+option)
+\&.
+By default,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+uses a separate record for each terminal, which means that
+a user's login sessions are authenticated separately.
+The
+\fItimestamp_type\fR
+option can be used to select the type of time stamp record
+\fBsudoers\fR
+will use.
+.PP
+A multi-record time stamp file format was introduced in
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.10 that uses a single file per user.
+Previously, a separate file was used for each user and terminal
+combination unless tty-based time stamps were disabled.
+The new format is extensible and records of multiple types and versions
+may coexist within the same file.
+.PP
+All records, regardless of type or version, begin with a 16-bit version
+number and a 16-bit record size.
+.PP
+Time stamp records have the following structure:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 0n
+/* Time stamp entry types */
+#define TS_GLOBAL 0x01 /* not restricted by tty or ppid */
+#define TS_TTY 0x02 /* restricted by tty */
+#define TS_PPID 0x03 /* restricted by ppid */
+#define TS_LOCKEXCL 0x04 /* special lock record */
+
+/* Time stamp flags */
+#define TS_DISABLED 0x01 /* entry disabled */
+#define TS_ANYUID 0x02 /* ignore uid, only valid in key */
+
+struct timestamp_entry {
+ unsigned short version; /* version number */
+ unsigned short size; /* entry size */
+ unsigned short type; /* TS_GLOBAL, TS_TTY, TS_PPID */
+ unsigned short flags; /* TS_DISABLED, TS_ANYUID */
+ uid_t auth_uid; /* uid to authenticate as */
+ pid_t sid; /* session ID associated with tty/ppid */
+ struct timespec start_time; /* session/ppid start time */
+ struct timespec ts; /* time stamp (CLOCK_MONOTONIC) */
+ union {
+ dev_t ttydev; /* tty device number */
+ pid_t ppid; /* parent pid */
+ } u;
+};
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The timestamp_entry struct fields are as follows:
+.TP 6n
+version
+The version number of the timestamp_entry struct.
+New entries are created with a version number of 2.
+Records with different version numbers may coexist in the
+same file but are not inter-operable.
+.TP 6n
+size
+The size of the record in bytes.
+.TP 6n
+type
+The record type, currently
+\fRTS_GLOBAL\fR,
+\fRTS_TTY\fR,
+or
+\fRTS_PPID\fR.
+.TP 6n
+flags
+.br
+Zero or more record flags which can be bit-wise ORed together.
+Supported flags are
+\fRTS_DISABLED\fR,
+for records disabled via
+\fBsudo\fR
+\fB\-k\fR
+and
+\fRTS_ANYUID\fR,
+which is used only when matching records.
+.TP 6n
+auth_uid
+The user-ID that was used for authentication.
+Depending on the value of the
+\fIrootpw\fR,
+\fIrunaspw\fR
+and
+\fItargetpw\fR
+options, the user-ID may be that of the invoking user, the root user,
+the default runas user or the target user.
+.TP 6n
+sid
+The ID of the user's terminal session, if present.
+The session ID is only used when matching records of type
+\fRTS_TTY\fR.
+.TP 6n
+start_time
+The start time of the session leader for records of type
+\fRTS_TTY\fR
+or of the parent process for records of type
+\fRTS_PPID\fR.
+The
+\fIstart_time\fR
+is used to help prevent re-use of a time stamp record after a
+user has logged out.
+Not all systems support a method to easily retrieve a process's
+start time.
+The
+\fIstart_time\fR
+field was added in
+\fBsudoers\fR
+version 1.8.22 for the second revision of the timestamp_entry struct.
+.TP 6n
+ts
+The actual time stamp.
+A monotonic time source (which does not move backward) is used if the
+system supports it.
+Where possible,
+\fBsudoers\fR
+uses a monotonic timer that increments even while the system
+is suspended.
+The value of
+\fIts\fR
+is updated each time a command is run via
+\fBsudo\fR.
+If the difference between
+\fIts\fR
+and the current time is less than the value of the
+\fItimestamp_timeout\fR
+option, no password is required.
+.TP 6n
+u.ttydev
+The device number of the terminal associated with the session for
+records of type
+\fRTS_TTY\fR.
+.TP 6n
+u.ppid
+The ID of the parent process for records of type
+\fRTS_PPID\fR.
+.SH "LOCKING"
+In
+\fBsudoers\fR
+versions 1.8.10 through 1.8.14, the entire time stamp file was
+locked for exclusive access when reading or writing to the file.
+Starting in
+\fBsudoers\fR
+1.8.15, individual records are locked in the time stamp file instead
+of the entire file and the lock is held for a longer period of time.
+This scheme is described below.
+.PP
+The first record in the time stamp file is of type
+\fRTS_LOCKEXCL\fR
+and is used as a
+\fIlock\fR
+record to prevent more than one
+\fBsudo\fR
+process from adding a new record at the same time.
+Once the desired time stamp record has been located or created (and
+locked), the
+\fRTS_LOCKEXCL\fR
+record is unlocked.
+The lock on the individual time stamp record, however, is held until
+authentication is complete.
+This allows
+\fBsudoers\fR
+to avoid prompting for a password multiple times when it
+is used more than once in a pipeline.
+.PP
+Records of type
+\fRTS_GLOBAL\fR
+cannot be locked for a long period of time since doing so would
+interfere with other
+\fBsudo\fR
+processes.
+Instead, a separate lock record is used to prevent multiple
+\fBsudo\fR
+processes using the same terminal (or parent process ID) from
+prompting for a password as the same time.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+sudoers(@mansectform@),
+sudo(@mansectsu@)
+.SH "HISTORY"
+Originally,
+\fBsudo\fR
+used a single zero-length file per user and the file's modification
+time was used as the time stamp.
+Later versions of
+\fBsudo\fR
+added restrictions on the ownership of the time stamp files and
+directory as well as checks on the validity of the time stamp itself.
+Notable changes were introduced in the following
+\fBsudo\fR
+versions:
+.TP 6n
+1.4.0
+.br
+Support for tty-based time stamp file was added
+by appending the terminal name to the time stamp file name.
+.TP 6n
+1.6.2
+.br
+The time stamp file was replaced by a per-user directory which
+contained any tty-based time stamp files.
+.TP 6n
+1.6.3p2
+The target user name was added to the time stamp file name when the
+\fItargetpw\fR
+option was set.
+.TP 6n
+1.7.3
+.br
+Information about the terminal device was stored in
+tty-based time stamp files for validity checks.
+This included the terminal device numbers, inode number and, on systems
+where it was not updated when the device was written to, the inode change time.
+This helped prevent re-use of the time stamp file after logout.
+.TP 6n
+1.8.6p7
+The terminal session ID was added to tty-based time stamp files to
+prevent re-use of the time stamp by the same user in a different
+terminal session.
+It also helped prevent re-use of the time stamp file on systems where
+the terminal device's inode change time was updated by writing.
+.TP 6n
+1.8.10
+A new, multi-record time stamp file format was introduced that uses a
+single file per user.
+The terminal device's change time was not included since most
+systems now update the change time after a write is performed
+as required by POSIX.
+.TP 6n
+1.8.15
+Individual records are locked in the time stamp file instead of the
+entire file and the lock is held until authentication is complete.
+.TP 6n
+1.8.22
+The start time of the terminal session leader or parent process is
+now stored in non-global time stamp records.
+This prevents re-use of the time stamp file after logout in most cases.
+.sp
+Support was added for the kernel-based tty time stamps available in
+OpenBSD
+which do not use an on-disk time stamp file.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+plays back or lists the output logs created by
+\fBsudo\fR.
+When replaying,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+can play the session back in real-time, or the playback speed may be
+adjusted (faster or slower) based on the command line options.
+.PP
+The
+\fIID\fR
+should either be a six character sequence of digits and
+upper case letters, e.g.,
+\fR0100A5\fR,
+a pattern matching the
+\fIiolog_file\fR
+option in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file, or a path name.
+Path names may be relative to the
+\fIiolog_dir\fR
+option in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file (unless overridden by the
+\fB\-d\fR
+option) or fully qualified, beginning with a
+\(oq/\(cq
+character.
+When a command is run via
+\fBsudo\fR
+with
+\fIlog_output\fR
+enabled in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file, a
+\fRTSID=ID\fR
+string is logged via syslog or to the
+\fBsudo\fR
+log file.
+The
+\fIID\fR
+may also be determined using
+\fBsudoreplay\fR's
+list mode.
+.PP
+In list mode,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+can be used to find the ID of a session based on a number of criteria
+such as the user, tty or command run.
+.PP
+In replay mode, if the standard input and output are connected to a terminal
+and the
+\fB\-n\fR
+option is not specified,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will operate interactively.
+In interactive mode,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will attempt to adjust the terminal size to match that of the session and
+write directly to the terminal (not all terminals support this).
+Additionally, it will poll the keyboard and act on the following keys:
+.TP 14n
+\(oq\fR\en\fR\(cq or \(oq\fR\er\fR\(cq
+Skip to the next replay event; useful for long pauses.
+.TP 14n
+\(oq\fR\ \fR\(cq (space)
+Pause output; press any key to resume.
+.TP 14n
+\(oq<\(cq
+Reduce the playback speed by one half.
+.TP 14n
+\(oq>\(cq
+Double the playback speed.
+.PP
+The session can be interrupted via control-C.
+When the session has finished, the terminal is restored to its
+original size if it was changed during playback.
+.PP
+The options are as follows:
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-d\fR \fIdir\fR, \fB\--directory\fR=\fIdir\fR
+Store session logs in
+\fIdir\fR
+instead of the default,
+\fI@iolog_dir@\fR.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-f\fR \fIfilter\fR, \fB\--filter\fR=\fIfilter\fR
+Select which I/O type(s) to display.
+By default,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will display the command's standard output, standard error and tty output.
+The
+\fIfilter\fR
+argument is a comma-separated list, consisting of one or more of following:
+\fIstdin\fR,
+\fIstdout\fR,
+\fIstderr\fR,
+\fIttyin\fR,
+and
+\fIttyout\fR.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-F\fR, \fB\--follow\fR
+Enable
+\(lqfollow mode\(rq.
+When replaying a session,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will ignore end-of-file and keep replaying until the log is complete.
+This can be used to replay a session that is still in progress,
+similar to
+\(lqtail -f\(rq.
+An I/O log file is considered to be complete when the write bits
+have been cleared on the session's timing file.
+Note that versions of
+\fBsudo\fR
+prior to 1.9.1 do not clear the write bits upon completion.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\--help\fR
+Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-l\fR, \fB\--list\fR [\fIsearch expression\fR]
+Enable
+\(lqlist mode\(rq.
+In this mode,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will list available sessions in a format similar to the
+\fBsudo\fR
+log file format, sorted by file name (or sequence number).
+If a
+\fIsearch expression\fR
+is specified, it will be used to restrict the IDs that are displayed.
+An expression is composed of the following predicates:
+.PP
+.RS 12n
+.PD 0
+.TP 8n
+command \fIpattern\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command run matches the POSIX extended
+regular expression
+\fIpattern\fR.
+.PD
+.TP 8n
+cwd \fIdirectory\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run with the specified current
+working directory.
+.TP 8n
+fromdate \fIdate\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run on or after
+\fIdate\fR.
+See
+\fIDate and time format\fR
+for a description of supported date and time formats.
+.TP 8n
+group \fIrunas_group\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run with the specified
+\fIrunas_group\fR.
+Note that unless a
+\fIrunas_group\fR
+was explicitly specified when
+\fBsudo\fR
+was run this field will be empty in the log.
+.TP 8n
+host \fIhostname\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run on the specified
+\fIhostname\fR.
+.TP 8n
+runas \fIrunas_user\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run as the specified
+\fIrunas_user\fR.
+Note that
+\fBsudo\fR
+runs commands as user
+\fIroot\fR
+by default.
+.TP 8n
+todate \fIdate\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run on or prior to
+\fIdate\fR.
+See
+\fIDate and time format\fR
+for a description of supported date and time formats.
+.TP 8n
+tty \fItty name\fR
+Evaluates to true if the command was run on the specified terminal device.
+The
+\fItty name\fR
+should be specified without the
+\fI/dev/\fR
+prefix, e.g.,
+\fItty01\fR
+instead of
+\fI/dev/tty01\fR.
+.TP 8n
+user \fIuser name\fR
+Evaluates to true if the ID matches a command run by
+\fIuser name\fR.
+.PP
+Predicates may be abbreviated to the shortest unique string.
+.sp
+Predicates may be combined using
+\fIand\fR,
+\fIor\fR
+and
+\fI\&!\fR
+operators as well as
+\(oq\&(\(cq
+and
+\(oq\&)\(cq
+grouping (note that parentheses must generally be escaped from the shell).
+The
+\fIand\fR
+operator is optional, adjacent predicates have an implied
+\fIand\fR
+unless separated by an
+\fIor\fR.
+.RE
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\--max-wait\fR \fImax_wait\fR
+Specify an upper bound on how long to wait between key presses or output data.
+By default,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will accurately reproduce the delays between key presses or program output.
+However, this can be tedious when the session includes long pauses.
+When the
+\fB\-m\fR
+option is specified,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will limit these pauses to at most
+\fImax_wait\fR
+seconds.
+The value may be specified as a floating point number, e.g.,
+\fI2.5\fR.
+A
+\fImax_wait\fR
+of zero or less will eliminate the pauses entirely.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\--non-interactive\fR
+Do not prompt for user input or attempt to re-size the terminal.
+The session is written to the standard output, not directly to
+the user's terminal.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\--no-resize\fR
+Do not attempt to re-size the terminal to match the terminal size
+of the session.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-S\fR, \fB\--suspend-wait\fR
+Wait while the command was suspended.
+By default,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will ignore the time interval between when the command was suspended
+and when it was resumed.
+If the
+\fB\-S\fR
+option is specified,
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+will wait instead.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\--speed\fR \fIspeed_factor\fR
+This option causes
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+to adjust the number of seconds it will wait between key presses or
+program output.
+This can be used to slow down or speed up the display.
+For example, a
+\fIspeed_factor\fR
+of
+\fI2\fR
+would make the output twice as fast whereas a
+\fIspeed_factor\fR
+of
+\fI.5\fR
+would make the output twice as slow.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\--version\fR
+Print the
+\fBsudoreplay\fR
+versions version number and exit.
+.SS "Date and time format"
+The time and date may be specified multiple ways, common formats include:
+.TP 8n
+HH:MM:SS am MM/DD/CCYY timezone
+24 hour time may be used in place of am/pm.
+.TP 8n
+HH:MM:SS am Month, Day Year timezone
+24 hour time may be used in place of am/pm, and month and day names
+may be abbreviated.
+Note that month and day of the week names must be specified in English.
+.TP 8n
+CCYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
+ISO time format
+.TP 8n
+DD Month CCYY HH:MM:SS
+The month name may be abbreviated.
+.PP
+Either time or date may be omitted, the am/pm and timezone are optional.
+If no date is specified, the current day is assumed; if no time is
+specified, the first second of the specified date is used.
+The less significant parts of both time and date may also be omitted,
+in which case zero is assumed.
+.PP
+The following are all valid time and date specifications:
+.TP 8n
+now
+The current time and date.
+.TP 8n
+tomorrow
+Exactly one day from now.
+.TP 8n
+yesterday
+24 hours ago.
+.TP 8n
+2 hours ago
+2 hours ago.
+.TP 8n
+next Friday
+The first second of the Friday in the next (upcoming) week.
+Not to be confused with
+\(lqthis Friday\(rq
+which would match the Friday of the current week.
+.TP 8n
+last week
+The current time but 7 days ago.
+This is equivalent to
+\(lqa week ago\(rq.
+.TP 8n
+a fortnight ago
+The current time but 14 days ago.
+.TP 8n
+10:01 am 9/17/2009
+10:01 am, September 17, 2009.
+.TP 8n
+10:01 am
+10:01 am on the current day.
+.TP 8n
+10
+10:00 am on the current day.
+.TP 8n
+9/17/2009
+00:00 am, September 17, 2009.
+.TP 8n
+10:01 am Sep 17, 2009
+10:01 am, September 17, 2009.
+.PP
+Note that relative time specifications do not always work as expected.
+For example, the
+\(lqnext\(rq
+qualifier is intended to be used in conjunction with a day such as
+\(lqnext Monday\(rq.
+When used with units of weeks, months, years, etc
+the result will be one more than expected.
+For example,
+\(lqnext week\(rq
+will result in a time exactly two weeks from now, which is probably
+not what was intended.
+This will be addressed in a future version of
+\fBsudoreplay\fR.

+.It Fl s , -speed Ar speed_factor
+This option causes
+.Nm
+to adjust the number of seconds it will wait between key presses or
+program output.
+This can be used to slow down or speed up the display.
+For example, a

+qualifier is intended to be used in conjunction with a day such as
+.Dq next Monday .
+When used with units of weeks, months, years, etc
+the result will be one more than expected.

+[[\fB\-f\fR]\ \fIsudoers\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBvisudo\fR
+edits the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file in a safe fashion, analogous to
+vipw(@mansectsu@).
+\fBvisudo\fR
+locks the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file against multiple simultaneous edits, performs basic validity checks,
+and checks for syntax errors before installing the edited file.
+If the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file is currently being edited you will receive a message to try again later.
+.PP
+\fBvisudo\fR
+parses the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file after editing and will not save the changes if there is a syntax error.
+Upon finding an error,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will print a message stating the line number(s)
+where the error occurred and the user will receive the
+\(lqWhat now?\(rq
+prompt.
+At this point the user may enter
+\(oqe\(cq
+to re-edit the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file,
+\(oqx\(cq
+to exit without saving the changes, or
+\(oqQ\(cq
+to quit and save changes.
+The
+\(oqQ\(cq
+option should be used with extreme caution because if
+\fBvisudo\fR
+believes there to be a syntax error, so will
+\fBsudo\fR
+and no one will be able to run
+\fBsudo\fR
+again until the error is fixed.
+If
+\(oqe\(cq
+is typed to edit the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file after a syntax error has been detected, the cursor will be placed on
+the line where the error occurred (if the editor supports this feature).
+.PP
+There are two
+\fIsudoers\fR
+settings that determine which editor
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will run.
+.TP 10n
+editor
+A colon
+(\(oq:\&\(cq)
+separated list of editors allowed to be used with
+\fBvisudo\fR.
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will choose the editor that matches the user's
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variable if possible, or the first editor in the
+list that exists and is executable.
+Note that
+\fBsudo\fR
+does not preserve the
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variables unless they are present in the
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+list or the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+option is disabled in the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+The default editor path is
+\fI@editor@\fR
+which can be set at compile time via the
+\fR--with-editor\fR
+configure option.
+.TP 10n
+env_editor
+If set,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will use the value of the
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variables before falling back on the default editor list.
+Note that
+\fBvisudo\fR
+is typically run as root so this option may allow a user with
+\fBvisudo\fR
+privileges to run arbitrary commands as root without logging.
+An alternative is to place a colon-separated list of
+\(lqsafe\(rq
+editors int the
+\fIeditor\fR
+variable.
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will then only use
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+if they match a value specified in
+\fIeditor\fR.
+If the
+\fIenv_reset\fR
+flag is enabled, the
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR,
+\fRVISUAL\fR
+and/or
+\fREDITOR\fR
+environment variables must be present in the
+\fIenv_keep\fR
+list for the
+\fIenv_editor\fR
+flag to function when
+\fBvisudo\fR
+is invoked via
+\fBsudo\fR.
+The default value is
+\fI@env_editor@\fR,
+which can be set at compile time via the
+\fR--with-env-editor\fR
+configure option.
+.PP
+The options are as follows:
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\--check\fR
+Enable
+\fIcheck-only\fR
+mode.
+The existing
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file (and any other files it includes) will be
+checked for syntax errors.
+If the path to the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file was not specified,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will also check the file owner and mode.
+A message will be printed to the standard output describing the status of
+\fIsudoers\fR
+unless the
+\fB\-q\fR
+option was specified.
+If the check completes successfully,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will exit with a value of 0.
+If an error is encountered,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will exit with a value of 1.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-f\fR \fIsudoers\fR, \fB\--file\fR=\fIsudoers\fR
+Specify an alternate
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file location, see below.
+As of version 1.8.27, the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+path can be specified without using the
+\fB\-f\fR
+option.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\--help\fR
+Display a short help message to the standard output and exit.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-q\fR, \fB\--quiet\fR
+Enable
+\fIquiet\fR

+In this mode details about syntax errors are not printed.
+This option is only useful when combined with
+the
+\fB\-c\fR
+option.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\--strict\fR
+Enable
+\fIstrict\fR
+checking of the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+If an alias is referenced but not actually defined
+or if there is a cycle in an alias,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will consider this a syntax error.
+Note that it is not possible to differentiate between an
+alias and a host name or user name that consists solely of uppercase
+letters, digits, and the underscore
+(\(oq_\(cq)
+character.
+.TP 12n
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\--version\fR
+Print the
+\fBvisudo\fR
+and
+\fIsudoers\fR
+grammar versions and exit.
+.PP
+A
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file may be specified instead of the default,
+\fI@sysconfdir@/sudoers\fR.
+The temporary file used is the specified
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file with
+\(lq\.tmp\(rq
+appended to it.
+In
+\fIcheck-only\fR
+mode only,
+\(oq-\(cq
+may be used to indicate that
+\fIsudoers\fR
+will be read from the standard input.
+Because the policy is evaluated in its entirety, it is not sufficient
+to check an individual
+\fIsudoers\fR
+include file for syntax errors.
+.SS "Debugging and sudoers plugin arguments"
+\fBvisudo\fR
+versions 1.8.4 and higher support a flexible debugging framework
+that is configured via
+\fRDebug\fR
+lines in the
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@)
+file.
+.PP
+Starting with
+\fBsudo\fR
+1.8.12,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+will also parse the arguments to the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+plugin to override the default
+\fIsudoers\fR
+path name, UID, GID and file mode.
+These arguments, if present, should be listed after the path to the plugin
+(i.e., after
+\fIsudoers.so\fR).
+Multiple arguments may be specified, separated by white space.
+For example:
+.nf
+.sp
+.RS 6n
+Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so sudoers_mode=0400
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+The following arguments are supported:
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_file=pathname
+The
+\fIsudoers_file\fR
+argument can be used to override the default path to the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_uid=uid
+The
+\fIsudoers_uid\fR
+argument can be used to override the default owner of the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as a numeric user-ID.
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_gid=gid
+The
+\fIsudoers_gid\fR
+argument can be used to override the default group of the sudoers file.
+It must be specified as a numeric group-ID (not a group name).
+.TP 10n
+sudoers_mode=mode
+The
+\fIsudoers_mode\fR
+argument can be used to override the default file mode for the sudoers file.
+It should be specified as an octal value.
+.PP
+For more information on configuring
+sudo.conf(@mansectform@),
+please refer to its manual.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+The following environment variables may be consulted depending on
+the value of the
+\fIeditor\fR
+and
+\fIenv_editor\fR
+\fIsudoers\fR
+settings:
+.TP 17n
+\fRSUDO_EDITOR\fR

+Default temporary file used by visudo
+.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
+In addition to reporting
+\fIsudoers\fR
+syntax errors,
+\fBvisudo\fR
+may produce the following messages:
+.TP 6n
+\fRsudoers file busy, try again later.\fR
+Someone else is currently editing the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.TP 6n
+\fR@sysconfdir@/sudoers: Permission denied\fR
+You didn't run
+\fBvisudo\fR
+as root.
+.TP 6n
+\fRyou do not exist in the passwd database\fR
+Your user-ID does not appear in the system passwd database.
+.TP 6n
+\fRWarning: {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias referenced but not defined\fR
+Either you are trying to use an undeclared {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias
+or you have a user or host name listed that consists solely of
+uppercase letters, digits, and the underscore
+(\(oq_\(cq)
+character.
+In the latter case, you can ignore the warnings
+(\fBsudo\fR
+will not complain)
+\&.
+The message is prefixed with the path name of the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file and the line number where the undefined alias was used.
+In
+\fB\-s\fR
+(strict) mode these are errors, not warnings.
+.TP 6n
+\fRWarning: unused {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias\fR
+The specified {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias was defined but never
+used.
+The message is prefixed with the path name of the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file and the line number where the unused alias was defined.
+You may wish to comment out or remove the unused alias.
+.TP 6n
+\fRWarning: cycle in {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias\fR
+The specified {User,Runas,Host,Cmnd}_Alias includes a reference to
+itself, either directly or through an alias it includes.
+The message is prefixed with the path name of the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file and the line number where the cycle was detected.
+This is only a warning unless
+\fBvisudo\fR
+is run in
+\fB\-s\fR
+(strict) mode as
+\fBsudo\fR
+will ignore cycles when parsing
+the
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file.
+.TP 6n
+\fRunknown defaults entry \&"name\&"\fR
+The
+\fIsudoers\fR
+file contains a
+\fRDefaults\fR
+setting not recognized by
