This paragraph was in the security announcement posted to debian-security-announce list: ------------ begin excerpt ----------- This update alters the former behaviour of sudo and limits the number of supported environment variables to LC_*, LANG, LANGUAGE and TERM. Additional variables are only passed through when set as env_check in /etc/sudoers, which might be required for some scripts to continue to work. ------------- end excerpt ------------ Maybe you need to do something with the DISPLAY variable in /etc/sudoers. This is just a guess, however. gc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
