Andreas I think it is happening for you as well. It should have requested the password the first time when you typed sudo bash & but it not.
for example adrian@adrian-Latitude-E6420:~$ sudo gedit & [1] 3429 adrian@adrian-Latitude-E6420:~$ sudo blah [sudo] password for adrian: sudo: blah: command not found [1]+ Stopped sudo gedit adrian@adrian-Latitude-E6420:~$ sudo gedit & [2] 3433 The first time when I try to run gedit with the & it does not bring up the gedit window and did not ask me for my password when i type sudo blah without the & it asks me for my password now that i have authenticated for the blah command without the & i can type sudo gedit & and the gedit window opens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130636 Title: [gusty] [sudo command &] shows password!
