Subject: [gentoo-user] bash completion doesn't always work with sudo
Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2014 10:45:01

1 I have a problem where commands preceded by "sudo" are not always
2 auto-completed. This happens with executables that don't have user
3 execute permission. For example, net-analyzer/tcptraceroute installs
4 this binary:
5
6 -rws--x--- 1 root wheel 35536 Mar 8 23:32 /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
7
8 Typing:
9
10 sudo tcptr[TAB]
11
12 does not auto-complete. Changing the permissions:
13
14 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
15
16 makes it work.
17
18 Is there a way to make bash-completion work without having to modify the
19 permissions?
