#4049 Sudo prompt for smart card authentication is missing the trailing colon
Closed: Fixed by sbose. Opened by jjelen.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

I configured sudo to authenticate using smart card. The prompt looks like this:

[jjelen@t470s ~]$ sudo true
PIN for jjelen

I think the prompt should end with the colon (mostly because the checks in sudo function use_pam_prompt() [1]) to explicitly mark prompt waiting for user input, as it looks like when sudo asks for password. The format string is defined in [2].

I can propose the trivial pull request, but first of all I wanted to discuss this whether there is not some other reason behind this, that I am missing.

Hi @jjelen,

there is no reason, it is just an error on my side. It would be nice if you can send a pull-request, but please note that we would prefer github (https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pulls).

bye,
