Aaron,
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure as most of the options are compile time and the sudo
command was pre-compiled under FC9. I've tried the 'keep' options in the
sudoers file to no avail.

I had the same issue a year+ back and never resolved it - I'll have to
try getting the source and compiling that.
