Public bug reported:
When generating a report on a remote host, sosreport will prompt for a
password if a non-root user is provided.
In my case, the user being provided does not require a password for
running sudo commands, and so a fake password needs to be entered here.
Can a check be introduced so that the sudo command is only requested if
it's needed?
The command for reference:
$ sos collect --all-logs --clean --nodes $node --ssh-user $user --debug
--ssh-key /home/$user/.ssh/id_rsa
sos-collector (version 4.1)
This utility is used to collect sosreports from multiple nodes simultaneously.
It uses OpenSSH's ControlPersist feature to connect to nodes and run commands
remotely. If your system installation of OpenSSH is older than 5.6, please
upgrade.
An archive of sosreport tarballs collected from the nodes will be generated in
/tmp/sos.0b5dt5gj and may be provided to an appropriate support representative.
The generated archive may contain data considered sensitive and its content
should be reviewed by the originating organization before being passed to any
third party.
No configuration changes will be made to the system running this utility or
remote systems that it connects to.
Press ENTER to continue, or CTRL-C to quit
Please enter the case id you are collecting reports for: 12345
sos-collector ASSUMES that SSH keys are installed on all nodes unless the
--password option is provided.
A non-root user has been provided. Provide sudo password for ubuntu on
remote nodes:^C
Also, this host is running Ubuntu 20.04.2 (from cat/etc/os-release), and
here's verification of the current sosreport version:
$ apt-cache policy sosreport
sosreport:
Installed: 4.1-1ubuntu0.20.04.1
Candidate: 4.1-1ubuntu0.20.04.1
