Description
Describe the bug
I'm using sudo rs for while and I'm having some issues with fingerprinting
I'm using it in NixOS (master branch of nixpkgs)
And I have two problems and one recommendation
- When scanning/waiting for fingerprint, Control-C will not work and I have to force kill (-9) or use Control-Z
- When sudo-rs crashes (specially in the middle of the scan), fingerprinting will not work until I restart
- For things like fingerprinting it should use a master process that others reuse the same fingerprint connection or session
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install 'sudo-rs'
- See error (See 3 items on top)
Expected behavior
Clean exit
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Linux distribution: NixOS (master branch)
sudo-rsversion [sudo --version] or commit hash:0.2.13

Research direction
Start by reproducing the fingerprint scan behavior described for sudo-rs 0.2.13 on NixOS, focusing on Ctrl-C handling and what remains after a crash. Trace the fingerprinting process and cleanup path; done means interruption exits cleanly and a subsequent scan works without restarting, while the proposed shared session remains to be evaluated.
