Hello tech@,
The following patch adds a carriage return before printing the regular
challenge.
If you're like me and you sometimes forget to wait before the prompt
comes up before typing your password it might be a little less stressful
if the message returns to the start of the line instead of after the
first few characters of your password and you have to rush to clear(1).
I don't know the impact of prepending this to auth_userchallenge(3), so
I left this one alone for now.
Any OKs or objections?
