Could it be that you have configured host/port for your regular user in ~/.rmate.rc?

If this is the case, rmate could likely be update to check if SUDO_USER is set, and if so, read that user’s settings.

The documentation mentions a sudo-replacement *rvmsudo* which keeps the environment […]

Or maybe you have setup RMATE_HOST/RMATE_PORT, in that case you’ll need to whitelist them. See ‘man sudoers’.
