-In the Summer of 1986, Garth Snyder enhanced sudo and released it
-to the public. For the next 5 years, sudo was fed and watered by
-a handful of folks at CU-Boulder, including Bob Coggeshall, Bob
-Manchek, and Trent Hein.
+The first version of sudo was written there by Cliff Spencer in
+1983. An updated version, credited to Phil Betchel, Cliff Spencer,
+Gretchen Phillips, John LoVerso and Don Gworek, was posted to the
+net.sources newsgroup in December of 1985.
