The statement mentioned in the summary in not only false, but is also included in the guide's translations. I happen to be the author of the Polish translation and believed this false statement until I tried using regular expressions in sudo myself. Well the reality is not as sweet, here's a quote from sudo's original manual: sudo allows shell-style wildcards (aka meta or glob characters) to be used in pathnames as well as command line arguments in the sudoers file. Wildcard matching is done via the POSIX fnmatch(3) routine. Note that these are not regular expressions. We need to fix that quick along with a nonworking example: '/usr/bin/passwd [a-zA-Z0-9_-]*'.
