Description Jason Craig 2009-02-07 21:41:32 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5

When creating sudo rules in YaST, if you enter a command with parameters and then later edit this command, a space is added to the front of the parameters list.  Every time you edit the command, another space will be added to the front of the parameters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a sudo rule using YaST.
2. Add a command to the rule.  Mine was calling /bin/cp as root.  Give the command some parameters.
3. Click OK to finish the rule.
4. Edit the rule.  Edit the command.  Notice that a space is added before the command line parameters.
Actual Results:  
A space is added to the beginning of the parameters each time the command is added.

Expected Results:  
I assume the reason why this happens in the first place is that one wants a space at the beginning of the parameters, but it should be checked that whitespace isn't already there.  If it is, don't add a space.

Sorry, under "Actual Results" I mean to say "A space is added to the beginning of the parameters each time the command is edited."
