sudo and xargs disagree about maximum command line length

[Stijn Hoop]

Hi,

I think the below should not happen:

[stijn at tangaloor] </net/freebsd/ports> find . | grep CVS/Root | xargs sudo -u src sed -i.bak -e 's#/freebsd#/net/freebsd#'
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long

Is there a sudo knob that should be tweaked?
