-Q) I modified parse.lex but the Makefile is not generating a new
-   lex.yy.c.
-A) You need to uncomment the rule in Makefile (or Makefile.in)
-   that generates lex.yy.c from parse.lex.  This is not enable
-   by default since sudo comes with a pre-flex'd parse.lex.
-   May sure you are using flex version 2.5.2 or higher--the

 Q) How can I keep sudo from asking for a password?
-A) Use the 'NOPASSWD' reserved word right before the command list in

-Q) I built sudo on a Solaris 2.5 machine but the resulting binary

-A) Sun added many of the BSD library functions from -lucb into
-   libc for Solaris 2.5.  To generate a sudo binary on Solaris 2.5

-    logging.c: In function `send_mail':
-    logging.c:448: storage size of `action' isn't known

+Q) I built sudo on a Solaris >= 2.6 machine but the resulting binary

+A) Starting with Solaris 2.6, snprintf(3) is included in the standard
+   C library.  To build a version of sudo on a >= 2.6 machine that
+   will run on a <= 2.5.1 machine, edit config.h and comment out the lines:
