I wouldn't exactly call this a bug but I've noticed that su does not
turn echo off immediatly upon invocation. There have been many occasions
when I have run su to jump to root quickly and have just started typing
the password immediatly before su is apparently able to accept it and it
is echoed locally displaying portions of the password. Could su be
updated to turn off local echo before anything else to prevent
displaying of the password and possibly to read from the keyboard buffer
for those in a hurry?
Thanx for taking the time to go over this.
