Description Bastien Nocera 2006-04-27 08:38:20 UTC
openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.12

"ssh localhost sudo su" will show the password in clear
Possible work-arounds are:
- Use "ssh -t" to force the creation of a tty on the ssh client side
- Use the requiretty option in the sudoers file

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2006-05-29 12:52:43 UTC
The "requiretty" option added to the default /etc/sudoers in FC6 (RHEL5).

Closing for RHEL4 as NOTABUG. Thanks for your report!
