sudo command listed in ps and pstree output
Issue
-
On RHEL 5.6 with sudo-1.7.2p1-10.el5 (and earlier), the pstree only shows the command being run by sudo:
[root@localhost ~]# sudo -u ralph sleep 3 & sleep 1; pstree -paul $! [1] 1829 sleep,1829,ralph 3 -
But on RHEL 5.8 with sudo-1.7.2p1-13.el5 (and newer) the
sudoprocess also shows up in the pstree:[root@localhost ~]# sudo -u ralph sleep 3 & sleep 1; pstree -paul $! [1] 24005 sudo,24005 -u ralph sleep 3 └─sleep,24007,ralph 3 -
Likewise, on RHEL 6.0 with sudo-1.7.2p2-9.el6:
[root@localhost ~]# sudo -u ralph sleep 3 & sleep 1; pstree -paul $! [1] 25451 sleep,25451,ralph 3 -
But after upgrading to RHEL 6.1 with sudo-1.7.4p5-5.el6 (and newer):
[root@localhost ~]# sudo -u ralph sleep 3 & sleep 1; pstree -paul $! [1] 25513 sudo,25513 -u ralph sleep 3 └─sleep,25516,ralph 3
