Hi all,

I've been thinking recently that Ubuntu is too permissive out of the box
with regard to configuration of sudo. Would it be better for each of the
admin tools that are installed in the basic install to add/remove
themselves from a list of "authorised" sudo tools in their
postinstall/prerm scripts?

I can write up a spec on Launchpad if people are interested in the idea
 (I think I have access anyway), couldn't find an existing one there.
Obviously it's a bit more complex than described above ;)

Apologies if there is a better place to have asked for this, just didn't
want to go to the effort of writing the spec if nobody is interested.

	Mark.
