user [EMAIL PROTECTED] usertag 343268 + hardy ubuntu-patch tag 343268 patch thanks
Ubuntu also got this request in https://launchpad.net/bugs/8556. In fact we found that gksu and kdesudo work just fine when changing the password prompt. However, they DO break when modifying the 'bad password' ("Sorry, try again") message, which is why we left them alone. Ubuntu enabled --with-passprompt="[sudo] password for %u:" in debian/rules 5 months ago and did not receive any problem report about it. Our corresponding changelog: * debian/rules: Configure less confusing default password prompt to (a) point out that it wants to know the user's password (instead of root's or whichever) and (b) that it is sudo which asks the question (since those prompts become really unintelligible if the command asks its own password, such as 'ssh', 'passwd', or 'mount -t cifs'). Do not modify --with-badpass-message though, since that breaks gksu. Thanks to Marco Rodrigues, leoquant, and nxvl for the discussion and proposals.
