Ian, In your example you do not log in it is like this now... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash & [1] 12101 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [sudo] password for me: mypassword!!!!
[1]+ Stopped sudo bash bash: mypassword: command not found [1]+ Stopped sudo bash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ...with a result that I can't start it. But I guess you got the point. Quick workaround is ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [sudo] password for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash & [2] 12299 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cheers, Bastiaan -- [gusty] [sudo command &] shows password! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
