I put in this task to make sure secure_path is used. It is now part of my
"set the node up for use with ansible" playbook:
- name: Special for osmc. Make sure secure_path is honored
file: path=/etc/sudoers.d/osmc-no-secure-path state=absent
There is a discussion on this in the osmc forum where one of the developers
says this is not something they support officially but there shouldn't be
any issues and so far I haven't had any. (I had this already set up before
the last major osmc Update)
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/system-path-broken-when-running-a-non-interactive-sudo-command/4167/6
There is also another workaround in the thread where the PATH env is set as
part of the task
