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.
