Package: sudo Version: 1.6.9p11-3 Severity: wishlist I configure my system such that I have full sudo permissions, so in particular I have permission to use "sudo -E" to preserve the entire environment. I like the idea of filtering the environment via a whitelist, to avoid potentially undesirable behavior when running programs as another user; however, I'd like the ability to extend this whitelist without resorting to the big hammer of -E. Thus, I'd really like a command-line option or (more importantly) an environment variable which would specify additional environment variables to keep, treating them as though specified in /etc/sudoers with env_keep. I could then set that in my .bashrc to preserve some useful environment variables, such as LESSHISTFILE (so I stop getting a root-owned ~/.lesshst in $HOME), LESS, EDITOR, EMAIL, PROMPT_COMMAND, GREP_COLOR, and GREP_OPTIONS.
