(Get the code!)
Worse still, as far as I can tell, it is impossible to respecify secure_path in the sudoers file. So if, for example, you want to offer your users easy access to something under /opt, you must recompile sudo.
The hard coding of secure_path also breaks the general Ubuntu convention (as I understood it) that /etc/environment's PATH entry is authoritative for the system.
