Package: sudo Version: 1.6.8p12-4 Severity: normal The -l flag is used to get allowed/forbidden commands for the current user, *if any*. It shouldn't prompt for a pwd if no commands are allowed for the invoking user. That breaks scripts that call some commands via sudo, but want/need to check whether the user is allowed before trying, just to avoid hanging in bg with the pwd prompt.
I think that 'sudo -l' should simply exit with 0 and no lines, besides the header, if user has no references in sudoers. -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
