Also add a commented out entry for "exec_background" which can also be used to prevent sudo from consuming tty input. Related to GitHub issue #338
visudo was messing up my term session until i added this fix for root. it also messed up nested commands that required reading from the tty which scripts do. (fyi, correct issue reference for the default setting is #258) |
to also capture a potential use_pty bug, i had to unset this for root b/c i was doing a nested command that read from the tty that no longer waited for input and just went on.

The
use_pty
option was recently turned on by default (cf. #358). While this makes sense when for non-root target users, it does not make sense for root, and it breaks typeahead in the extremely common case of using sudo to run adminstrative commands interactively in a terminal. Please turn it off for root, either in code or by adding the following line to the defaultsudoers
