Package: sudo Version: 1.8.3p2-1 Severity: normal I recently noticed that sudo seems to run the commandI requested as a child process, and continue running as a parent process until the command exits. This surprised me, since I'd expect sudo to just exec the process I requested and not stick around afterward.
Please consider documenting in the sudo manpage why sudo sticks around as a parent process.
