Summary 0003965: sudo has 'logfile' hard-coded to /var/opt/csw/sudo/logs/sudolog
Description sudo has 'logfile' hard-coded to /var/opt/csw/sudo/logs/sudolog. This can be overridden in sudoers. Suggested approach is to remove hard-coded logfile and leave use of logfile a flag configuration within sudoers

Additionally, the package doesn't create the path /var/opt/csw/sudo/logs/sudolog on installation so you get a bunch of complaint emails from sudo after the package is upgraded.

The other issue has been resolved, the path is now created. I don't understand the bit about the hardcoded log path. If you don't give the option at the configure stage, it still has a default. Do you mean that if the configure option is used, it cannot be changed in sudoers?

By default, sudo just logs to syslog rather than going to a separate log file location. I believe this is what the original reporter is referring to.

sudo is build now with --with-logging=both so it can log to syslog or to a log file.
