Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Daniele 2018-02-23 11:09:28 UTC
Currently the output of sudo -l is not parseable out of the box, and contains 3 different sections:
- defaults for the host
- defaults for the user
- command that the user may run on the host

Example of sudo -l output is:
"""
Matching Defaults entries for root on localhost:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin, log_output, maxseq=150,
    iolog_dir=/var/log/sudo-io/%{user}, !requiretty

Runas and Command-specific defaults for root:
    Defaults!/usr/bin/sudoreplay !log_output

User root may run the following commands on localhost:
    (ALL : ALL) ALL
"""

It would be very useful to have the following flags as optional to "-l":
--host-defaults
--user-defaults
--commands

It should be also possible to combinate the options (ie: sudo -l --host-defaults --user-defaults)

Example of the expected output:

sudo -l --host-defaults
"""
Matching Defaults entries for root on localhost:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin, log_output, maxseq=150,
    iolog_dir=/var/log/sudo-io/%{user}, !requiretty
"""


sudo -l --user-defaults
"""
Runas and Command-specific defaults for root:
    Defaults!/usr/bin/sudoreplay !log_output
"""

sudo -l --commands
"""
User root may run the following commands on localhost:
    (ALL : ALL) ALL
"""

sudo -l --host-defaults --user-defaults
"""
Matching Defaults entries for root on localhost:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin, log_output, maxseq=150,
