Sudo comes from http://www.sudo.ws/
It is also available from https://unixpackages.com/ for those of us in
organizations that prefer to work with "vendor" supplied resources.

Oh sorry. I by mistake thought, that sudo was included in Solaris 10 and
only was excluded from the last MU.

My fault.

Thanks,

		Hello,
		
		I wonder, if this is a sign of a change in oracle patching?
It seems,
		that the last vulnerability of sudo is "patched" by
installing an new
		package. With pca I don't see a "normal" patch for this:-(
		
		Could someone explain this, perhaps Don?
		


	Well sudo was never part of Solaris 10.
	They now decided to "include" it in U11.
	To quote the readme:
	
	sudo for Oracle Solaris 10 README
	---------------------------------
	
	sudo shall be considered as part of Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 release
but
	due to
	technical reasons sudo packages were released independently and they
are not
	at Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 media.
	
	
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=16443433
	
	
	So yes this is a separate package you need to install.
	Don't know if they will release patches for it afterwards or if you
have
	to reinstall it every time.
	
	Greetings
	Jan
