sudo changing environment variables

[Tom Alsberg]

Hi there.

Is there, or will there be, a way to configure sudo not to change
environment variables like LOGNAME, USER, MAILPATH, etc., except for
patching the source?
I think this would be a more sensible behaviour, and should at least
be configurable to be that way...

The way su doesn't change those variables, it seems more sensible, so
that the user's environment is more preserved, and for example
some applications use the preferences/rc files of the user issuing the
su command (usually the desired behaviour), and RCS gets the author's
correct identity...

  Best regards,
  -- Tom
