The root daemon refused to start when
sudo
was configured with atimestamp_timeout=0
. This was due to logic that first requested root privileges using a sudo call, and then relied on that these privileges were cached, so that a subsequent call using--non-interactive
was guaranteed to succeed. This logic will now instead do one single sudo call, and rely solely on sudo to print an informative prompt and start the daemon in the background.
