Title:
[FFe] sudo do not remember password when std(in|out|err) are not
connected to a terminal
Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
sudo will not remember the password (and thus prompt for it) when none
of stdin, stdout and stderr are connected to a terminal. In certain
use-cases, this could be problematic. For example, in a build script
where std(in|out|err) are all connected to pipes. See discussion at
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=18393 for such a
use-case.
There is a commit upstream that resolve this problem:
http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/b9dfce12af85
Would it be possible to consider the above commit for inclusion in precise?
