Description Paulo Andrade 2023-07-21 16:14:48 UTC
Please consider backporting changes to have use_pty default in RHEL.

It has been made default for sudo 1.9.14 but most certainly it will take
significant time to be available in RHEL, unless an update to sudo 1.9.14
is considered for RHEL 9.

I believe this will be part of the rebase in RHEL9. But there no actual plan to rebase sudo in near future.
