From man sudoers: |
| 13 |
env_reset |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If set, sudo will reset the environment to only contain the |
| 16 |
LOGNAME, MAIL, SHELL, USER, USERNAME and the SUDO_* variables. Any |
| 17 |
variables in the caller's environment that match the env_keep and |
| 18 |
env_check lists are then added. The default contents of the |
| 19 |
env_keep and env_check lists are displayed when sudo is run by root |
| 20 |
with the -V option. If the secure_path option is set, its value |
| 21 |
will be used for the PATH environment variable. This flag is on by |
| 22 |
default |
