1 I had the following in my /etc/sudoers before tonight's update...
2
3 ## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
4 %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
5
6 ## Same thing without a password
7 %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
8
9 ...and my regular user was able to run commands and scripts via
10 /usr/bin/sudo which had been authorized in files in the /etc/sudoers.d
11 directory. Tonight's update changed /etc/sudoers to...
12
13 ## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
14 # %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
15
16 ## Same thing without a password
17 # %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
18
19 I was "like WTF?!?" but I let it through. sudo stopped working for my
20 regular user. As root, I went in and manually reverted the update with
21 visudo. Is this a bug?

24 I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with
25 frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista,
26 pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All
27 those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
