I have a problem where commands preceded by "sudo" are not always
auto-completed. This happens with executables that don't have user
execute permission. For example, net-analyzer/tcptraceroute installs
this binary:
-rws--x--- 1 root wheel 35536 Mar 8 23:32 /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
Typing:
sudo tcptr[TAB]
does not auto-complete. Changing the permissions:
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
makes it work.
Is there a way to make bash-completion work without having to modify the
permissions?
According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45613:
adding `complete -cf sudo` to your .bashrc will make tab completion work
with sudo.
Just tested:
dresden ~ # complete -cf sudo
dresden ~ # sudo tcp
tcpd tcpdchk tcpdmatch tcpdump tcptraceroute
dresden ~ # ls -alh /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
-rws--x--- 1 root wheel 35K Apr 6 15:54 /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
That actually breaks completion even more. Now none of the binaries in
/sbin and /usr/sbin are working.
