Public bug reported:
sudo-rs does not accept a '=' in command definition or alias, like
`Cmd_Alias FOO_CMD = /bin/foo --bar=1`, but regular sudo accept it.
IMHO sudo-rs should accept '=' characters like sudo.ws does.
Steps to reproduce :
1. Create a sample sudoers file with a command including a '=' character
$ cat /tmp/sudoers << EOF
Cmd_Alias FOO_CMD = /bin/foo --bar=1
%staff ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: FOO_CMD
%users ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/foo --bar=2
EOF
2. Test the file with regular sudo
$ visudo.ws -c -f /tmp/sudoers
/tmp/sudoers: parsed OK
3. Test the file with sudo-rs
$ visudo-rs -c -f /tmp/sudoers
/tmp/sudoers:1:35: syntax error: garbage at end of line
Cmd_Alias FOO_CMD = /bin/foo --bar=1
^
/tmp/sudoers:3:45: syntax error: garbage at end of line
%users ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/foo --bar=2
^
visudo: invalid sudoers file
