Public bug reported:
I stumbled on this one because my normal sudo was silently replaced with
sudo-rs, with no acknowledgement.
I can reproduce this on 3 different hosts, so it's definitely not
related to local configuration.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log into a host with a clean shell
2. Run the following `watch -n1 -c -d "sudo zpool status -v"`
3. You will be prompted for the sudo password
4. .... nothing, the command does not run, although the password was
successfully accepted
Now, oddly, ^C that command that seems to be running without output, and
run the following:
1. Log out
2. Log back in (clean shell)
3. Run the following: `sudo zpool status -v`, this will work
4. Now run the same command, but _prepend_ the previous 'watch' parameters,
this will also work
5. Log out, and back in
6. Run step 4 alone. This will fail.
There appears to be some sort of shell or tty sanitization that's
happening here, and running the initial 'sudo' command to 'warm' the
shell, then re-running the same command under 'watch', seems to work.
Running the full command ('watch' + 'sudo'), does not produce any
output.
