Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sudo


with "nopasswd: all" in your sudoers file, or if authentication has already 
been performed during previous recent sudo commands, then using TAB should 
acquire root privileges in order to autocomplete paths.

A classic example is /dev/my-volume-group/ which has root-only read
permissions, and therefore cannot be auto-completed in a command like:

sudo mount /dev/my-volume-group/[TAB] does NOT list my lvm partitions,
but I think it should.

** Affects: sudo (Ubuntu)
