[Bug 580801] Re: Default /etc/sudoers file overwrites /etc/sudoers.d for 'admin' users

[Benjamin Drung]

Thanks for reporting this bug. It should not have happened that your
patch got unaddressed for so long.

I checked /etc/sudoers in Ubuntu 22.04 and it is correct there: the last
line is "@includedir /etc/sudoers.d". So I mark this bug as fixed.

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Default /etc/sudoers file overwrites /etc/sudoers.d for 'admin' users

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  I was trying to make truecrypt to mount encrypted container without
  asking my user's password after I provided my truecrypt password and
  found out that I need to modify my 'sudo' configuration. After reading
  bit more about sudo configuration I found out that custom
  configuration should be placed in '/etc/sudoers.d' instead of
  modifying the default '/etc/sudoers' file. I found out that my custom
  setting did not worked any user who is member of the group 'admin',
  but worked find for any other user. I found that last line '%admin
  ALL=(ALL) ALL' in default '/etc/sudoers' file overwrites any setting
  set in '/etc/sudoers.d'. I fixed it by moving the '#includedir
  /etc/sudoers.d' to be the last line. I am attaching my patch. I think
  that this should be fixed in default configuration file because I
  believe this file will get overwritten during the next 'sudo' upgrade.
