For some reason I thought sudo would ensure that whenever sudo was run
it was run with the correct SUDO_USER environment variable with env_reset.
If I wrote a simple script like:
/bin/change_password
#!/bin/sh -
passwd $SUDO_USER
set the permissions to 700 (root:root)
Added:
Defaults env_reset
and
USERS ALL=(ALL) /bin/change_password
The script would be run like
$ sudo /bin/change_password
How can the user change the SUDO_USER environment variable?
Not arguing your facts, just saying I don't understand.
Thanks,
