Public bug reported:
I have small script that invokes another shell script as root thus:
#!/bin/bash
echo "mypass" | sudo -p '' -S /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh
when running in 16.04 LTS this didn't display a password prompt which I
understand to be correct behaviour. Since upgrading to 18.04.1 LTS the
output looks like:
amonra@Charon:~$ ./storman
[sudo] password for amonra:
which as far as I can determine is not correct.
Thanks
Dave
