Bug 1052940

Description of problem:
We have a system integrated with AD and applying local sudoers rule on group basis, "%domain users" ALL=(ALL)       ALL

Requirements is to change the passprompt of the sudo, like [sudo] password for user: message TO [test] password for IDM\user:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.8.6p3-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Integrate linux machine with AD, and allow any group containing escape character, in my case "domain users"

2. Add line to sudoers file "%domain users" ALL=(ALL)       ALL to run all commands etc.

3. Add the line to change the passprompt of sudo

Defaults:"%domain users" passprompt="[test] password for IDM\%u:"

4. Run command using member of that group using sudo

Actual results:

Not working, Showing default prompt

Expected results:

[test] password for IDM\savitoj:

Additional info:

1. If I make changes in sudoers file using escape character, it works like charm in sudo-1.8.6p3-12.el6.x86_64 version.

Defaults: %domain\ users passprompt="[abc] password for IDM\%u:"


2. If I downgrade the package of sudo to sudo-1.7.4p5-13.el6_3.x86_64

and in sudoers, Defaults:"%domain users" passprompt="[test] password for IDM\%u:"


Works like charm

Seems that there is a regression in package of Sudo-1.8.6p3-12.el6.x86_64
