The Remote Fix: Standardize Sudoers

If forcing the flag doesn't work, you need to disable the “asterisk feedback” on the Ubuntu 26.04 system, as it can interfere with how Ansible pipes the password into the stream.

On the raccoon box:

  Run sudo visudo.

  Look for a line that says Defaults env_reset or similar.

  Check if pwfeedback is present. You want to ensure it is off. Add or modify the line to look like this:
  Plaintext

  Defaults !pwfeedback

  Also, ensure the prompt isn't being globally overridden in /etc/sudoers.d/.
