Package: lockout
Version: 0.2.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The lock.sh and unlock.sh scripts included in the documentation invoke
/etc/init.d/sudo, which has disappeared in version 1.6.9p11 of 'sudo'.
If used as they are, one gets a 'No such file or directory' error.

The 'lock.sh' script temporally modifies the 'sudoers' file and restarts
sudo. The 'unlock.sh' script restores the original 'sudoers' and
restarts sudo.

Just removing the lines in lock.sh and unlock.sh invoking
/etc/init.d/sudo does the job. There is no need to restart sudo after
modifying /etc/sudo/sudoers.

It would be good that the documentation included in lockout does not
include any mention to the obsolete conffile '/etc/init.d/sudo'.
