Unfortunately we first need to fix gksu to not rely on the password
prompt to detect a failed password (relying on the 'Sorry, try again'
one should be more than enough).

My vote is for:

Short, snappy, tells you the request is from sudo.

I'm not sure if what you (eolo999) meant is what I'm thinking as I read
this thread. What I'm thinking is that the prompt should explicity
indicate which password is being asked for. So if the username is
"foobar" then the prompt should be something like:
$ sudo /bin/ksh
'foobar' password:

My personal favourite so far is
[sudo] Your password:
It is concise, it points out that it wants the user's password (as
opposed to root's), and it makes it clear that it is the sudo password,
not the one 'mount' asks.

The point is that the password is for "sudo" and not (in the above
examples) for "mount". Neither "your password" nor "account password"
tell me if it's the password that sudo wants (for the user running
"sudo") or for "username" on the system with the samba share. Both are
account passwords, and
When someone runs "sudo something", that's obvious that we're running
sudo.. so "Password for sudo:" don't explain that you need to enter your
account password.

"Your Password" is context sensitive, and there is still nothing
indicating that the context is "sudo".
Some suggestions:

[sudo] Password:

Password for sudo:
I think it's better because he tell the user that's their current
account password and not the root one. When I come to Ubuntu I never
used "sudo" and I don't know if the password asked was the root one.
