Subject: sudo: Argument list too long

Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 01:19:17 +0200

Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.2p7-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

sudo seems to have trouble with long argument lists. I created 30000
files in the current directory:

$ ls * > /dev/null
$ nice ls * > /dev/null
$ sudo ls * > /dev/null
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Argument list too long
$ find . -type f -exec sudo ls '{}' '+' >/dev/null
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Argument list too long
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Argument list too long

(and the same with xargs if I don't specify a low enough -n)
