I suppose this is a getpass() problem ?
I cannot reproduce this. In fact,
su root -c date > /tmp/date
hangs waiting for input.
in fact, you exactly reproduce what I want, su hangs for input bcoz the
password prompt is displayed onto stdout, but you don't know it unless
you look at the output file.
orion % su root -c date > /tmp/date
^C
su: Sorry
orion % less /tmp/date
Password:
orion %
Also, you appear to be running an unpatched version of FreeBSD 8.0,
subject to the rtld exploit (among a few others). I'd suggest upgrading.
don't care, it's a vmware guest for testing. thanks anyway.
