Description:

I looked into this some with @chambridge but we never did come to a conclusion about exactly why the passwordless sudo user gets different data for virt-what.type than the root user.

I expect them to be the same, and so do our automated tests.

If this is NOT a bug, I need to change the way we test this, but I think that this is not desirable behavior -- since we have the ability to get this data, I think we should get it with a a sudo user.

I think whatever task this is coming from is not using become, it is just trying to run virt-what without using sudo.

Bug Report

Version of rho:

[ 0.30 ]

Expected behavior:

Sudo users should get the same data as the root user.

Actual behavior:

Root user gets: vmware
(passwordless) sudo user gets: N/A (virt-what not found) (even though virt-what is on the machine)

Steps to reproduce:

Scan a virtual machine with virt-what installed (I can provide access to one of our systems) using first the root user, then a seperate scan with a passwordless sudo user.
