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: This idea is also in one of Marco Rodrigues' suggestions in his first post. -- sudo password prompt could be clearer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8556 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
