           Summary: Firmware upgrade v4.2008.36-5 over-writes /etc/sudoers
           Product: System software
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: general

SOFTWARE VERSION:
4.2008.36-5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
Customise /etc/sudoers
Install "seamless" upgrade v4.2008.36-5
Attempt to perform sudo action permitted by customised /etc/sudoers

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Should still be able to sudo as customised
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Unable to sudo
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

OTHER COMMENTS:
Whilst it's acceptable (and expected) for a full flash of the device to
overwrite /etc/sudoers, a "seamless" update should only change whatever lines
in this file are relevant to it, not overwrite it and render the user's
customisations invalid.
