Plainbox run asks more than once for the root password

[Ara Pulido]

plainbox version 0.6~dev+bzr3042+pkg4~ubuntu14.04.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the client cert whitelist:

  plainbox run -w /usr/share/2013.com.canonical.certification\:certification-client/whitelists/client-selftest.whitelist

2. Plainbox asks for the sudo password
3. The run starts

Expected results:

The full run continues without the need to enter the sudo password again

Actual results:

For some tests (example cpu/cstates) plainbox asks for the password again

There could be a possible workaround,
to use NOPASWD option.
Adding this to the bottom of /etc/sudoers
username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

This has been marked Critical for about 2.5 months :)

Yeah we should get to fixing it soon

Hi,
as we are using the plainbox-insecure-policy, and I didn't encounter this anymore with recent N+1, should we close this bug?

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

BTW, I did setup the N+1 system by adding
"ubuntu ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" into /etc/sudoers

I will close this bug with "Invalid" now.
Please feel free to open a new report if this issue still exist.
