BTW. I didn't want to say that you shall upgrade to Lenny. well, I disagree that this is major isse. While I agree that it is *very* annoying it is neither a security issue, nor does it render sudo unusable. As a consequence it won't qualify for a stable update. But its not helpful for you, if I tell you that, so lets see if we can solve this issue. I just remembered that I had a similar problem with a non-Debian system a while ago. Back then I found out that Fedora does not use the "--with-secure-path" compile time option which caused the issue for Fedora, while Debian didn't have the issue. Now according to the Debian changelog the option was added in version 1.6.3p6-1 of the package and never removed. I can confirm this by reading the debian/rules file in the source package. So I guess your problem is different and I wonder weither you have special options in your sudoers file. Can you attach it? I think that the defaults would be especially interesting.
