"Your Password" is context sensitive, and there is still nothing
indicating that the context is "sudo".
Some suggestions:
$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share /mnt/point
[sudo] Password:
$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share /mnt/point
Password for sudo:
Explicit, but perhaps problematic for long commands written by shell ninjas and
people that actually use vi keybindings in bash... also a more complex patch
(and "-p" alternative won't work):
$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share /mnt/point
Password to execute "mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share
/mnt/point":
My personal favorite:
$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share /mnt/point
Password to execute "mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share
/mnt/point" as user "root":
or with "-u" for a better example:
$ sudo -u www-data mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share /mnt/point
Password to execute "mount -t smbfs -o username //some/samba/share
/mnt/point" as user "www-data":
Also, as Abdullah Ramazanoglu mentioned, you could just alias it in a
system-wide bashrc or something (instead of using a patch).
