Plugins » Foreman Remote Execution

I have setup a debian system using language de as it was required by the installer to select the correct timezone.

For REX I set the SSH user to an unprivileged one and to use su to switch to root as the effective user using a password.

When I executed a job it does not finish and as progress I could only see the password prompt "Passwort:" (in German we use a t instead of d at the end!). So I changed the language setting of the user in its .bashrc via LANG=C which only worked for my manual testing but not for REX. After changing the system to C, the job executed successfully.

So I think REX is expecting the password prompt to be "Password:", but is not ensuring this by using a matching language. I hope this is simple to fix as it very likely affects also other languages.
