So like, I was looking over a draft for the Japanese translation of this guide, and ZOMG, what's this! ( see URL ). NU UH! Gender specific references are baaaaaadddddd. So like.. fox2mike said he was going to fix it next year, what a slacker! ANYWAYS, plzfixloveyouallthx!
Created attachment 75864 [details, diff] sudo-guide.xml.patch A patch to fix it!
Generic subject... in "Code Listing 2.10: Using aliases for users and commands" there is a line: Cmnd_Alias PASSWORDCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/passwd [a-zA-Z]*, !/usr/bin/passwd root The regular expression [a-zA-Z]* does not encompass a more suitable set of valid entries for usernames. This is probably a better idea: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]*
Created attachment 75866 [details, diff] sudo-guide.xml.patch Updated gender specifics patch.
It's not the first time the he-bug is mentioned. FYI, it's not a bug. "he" is both masculine and gender-neutral. Some native English speakers may consider it macho, others don't. I guess many non-native English readers would consider the plural form quite confusing. The regexp has been edited. Thanks.
