## The sudo philosophy Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done. ## Where to find sudo Before you try and build sudo, *please* make sure you have the current version. The latest sudo may always be gotten via anonymous ftp from ftp.sudo.ws in the directory /pub/sudo/ or from the sudo web site, https://www.sudo.ws/ The distribution is sudo-M.m.tar.gz where _M_ is the major version number and _m_ is the minor version number. Beta versions of sudo may also be available. If you join the _sudo-workers_ mailing list you will get the beta announcements (see the Mailing lists section below). ## What's new See the NEWS file for a list of major changes in this release. For a complete list of changes, see the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog). For a summary of major changes to the current stable release, see https://www.sudo.ws/releases/stable/. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Sudo, please read [docs/UPGRADE.md](docs/UPGRADE.md) for information on changes in behavior that may affect you. For a history of sudo please see [docs/HISTORY.md](docs/HISTORY.md). You can find a list of contributors to sudo in [docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md](docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md). ## Building the release Please read the installation guide, [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md), before trying to build sudo. Pay special attention to the "OS dependent notes" section. ## How to contribute See [docs/CONTRIBUTING.md](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how you can help contribute to sudo. ## Copyright Sudo is distributed under an ISC-style license. Please refer to [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) for details. ## Mailing lists #### sudo-announce This list receives announcements whenever a new version of sudo is released. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-announce #### sudo-blog This list receives a message when a new sudo blog article is available. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-blog #### sudo-commits This list receives a message for each commit made to the sudo source repository. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-commits #### sudo-users This list is for questions and general discussion about sudo. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-users #### sudo-workers This list is for people working on and porting sudo. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers To subscribe to a list, visit its url (listed above) and enter your email address to subscribe. Digest versions are available but these are fairly low traffic lists so the digest versions are not a significant win. Mailing list archives are also available. See the mailing list web sites for the appropriate links. ## Web page There is a sudo web page at https://www.sudo.ws/ that contains an overview of sudo, documentation, downloads, a bug tracker, the sudo blog, information about beta versions and other useful info. ## Bug reports If you have found what you believe to be a bug, you can file a bug report in the sudo bug database, at https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/. Alternately, you can file a GitHub issue if that is easier for you at https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/. Please see [docs/SECURITY.md](docs/SECURITY.md) for our security policy and how to report security issues. Please read over [docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md) *before* submitting a bug report. When reporting bugs, please be sure to include the version of sudo you are using as well as the platform you are running it on.
