After upgrading to capistrano 2.0 I get this error:

executing `deploy:restart’

- executing “sudo -p 'sudo password: ’ -u app  
/var/apps/mobile/current/script/process/reaper”  
servers: [“[r1.h1.XXX.com](http://r1.h1.XXX.com)”]  
[[r1.h1.XXX.com](http://r1.h1.XXX.com)] executing command  
\*\*\* [err :: [r1.h1.XXX.com](http://r1.h1.XXX.com)] sudo: no passwd entry for app!  
\*\*\* [err :: [r1.h1.XXX.com](http://r1.h1.XXX.com)]  
command finished  
command “sudo -p 'sudo password: ’ -u app  
/var/apps/mobile/current/script/process/reaper” failed on [r1.h1.XXX.com](http://r1.h1.XXX.com)

It seems to complain that it will not run a command using sudo because  
there is no password. I cant tell if the command requires a non-blank  
password or that I have not supplied a password in my cap deploy.rb file  
becuase sudo does not require one for me.

Any ideas here on how to tell the internal cap command to be a bit more  
chill?

Mike
