Summary

The current check is brittle and does not find valid configurations with multiple spaces or tabs

Steps to reproduce

Put a tab instead of a space between Defaults and tty_tickets in the sudoers file, the check will fail even though this is a valid configuration

Operating System version

macOS 11.6.2

What is the current bug behavior?

Valid configurations are not identified

What is the expected correct behavior?

Any valid configuration should pass the check

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

(Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code as it's tough to read otherwise.)

Output of checks

(Paste any output that occurs with the bug)

Possible fixes

Change the test to account for spaces/tabs

grep -Ec "^Defaults\s+tty_tickets" /etc/sudoers
