Bug Description
On 2.0~bzr1219-
13:04:18 DEBUG [SystemUtil:main] Running command: sudo tgtadm --help
13:04:18 DEBUG [SystemUtil:main] Running command: sudo tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode target --op show
13:04:18 WARN [ISCSIManager:main] Unable to connect to tgt daemon. Is tgtd loaded?
13:04:18 INFO [ISCSIManager:main] Attempting to start tgtd ISCSI daemon
13:04:18 DEBUG [SystemUtil:main] Running command: sudo tgtd
This is not good. Since eucalyptus is running in the background (via 'start'), it does not have a pseudo-terminal allocated. As a result, we get a fatal error on startup:
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
and eucalyptus dies.
I temporarily bypassed this by adding the following line to /etc/sudoers:
eucalyptus ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Instead, these calls should be rootwrapped.

Dmitrii has a modified version of Canonical patch for euca_rootwrap which eliminates the need of sudo. We are waiting for the resolve of license issue.
