Package: sudo Version: 1.6.8p9-3 Severity: wishlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/openvpn]$ sudo scp '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/openvpn/*' . Password: Password:
Surely you can see the problem; without keeping careful track of time, it's impossible for me to know whether the prompt I'm presented with is a sudo prompt or an scp prompt. IMHO sudo's prompt should say something akin to "sudo: Password:" or "Password for root access:" to avoid ambiguity. I am aware that this would probably break some scripts. I am also filing a similar bug against ssh, since it's also guilty of an ambiguous password prompt. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
