Hi, I don't think this question is really OpenBSD specific per-se but rather an OpenSSH command.
I'm using public key authentication between my OpenBSD systems (running ssh-agent) so that I can ssh/sftp between my systems (both are 4.1) without having to enter a password. As part of some IPSec performance testing I'm doing, I'm copying ipsec.conf files between the systems and applying them using ipsecctl -f which of course requires root privileges. I'm scripting this with perl since I'm testing 24 different IPSec policies at a time. What I've noticed is that when sudo (on the remote machine) periodically asks me to reauthenticate myself prior to executing a sudo command, the password prompt for the remote machine does not turn off echo. This also happens if I ssh into my other machine with any command that requires me to enter a password (such ssh host su). Any ideas as to why this happens? A few minutes of googling didn't pull up any useful hits as to why this happens. Thanks, Walter
