I found the problem. Capistrano is expecting the prompt to be exactly
"Password: ", but the sudo that comes with SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server is nice and actually tells you what password it expects by
prefixing it with the username (e.g., "root's password:" or
"youruser's password:" ). Here's the patch to actor.rb that fixes it
for SLES:
325c325
< if out =~ /^Password:/
---
> if out =~ /[Pp]assword:/
--Steven
