It is supposed to print that, yeah; the problem here is sudo is giving up the option to show whatever the pam module told it to display. -- gksudo doesn't ask for a password https://launchpad.net/bugs/54582 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailma

I get this... $ sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS ls password: If this is meant to print GNOME_SUDO_PASS: then sudo's -p option is completely broken. On Mon, 2006-07-31 at 11:04 +, Gustavo Noronha Silva wrote: > The -p option is for sudo; it will replace sudo's password prompt for > something; in this

The -p option is for sudo; it will replace sudo's password prompt for something; in this case GNOME_SUDO_PASS. If you call sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS ls it must present you that prompt, but if pam tells it to use something else, it will just ignore this. We probably need to patch sudo to respect this

Do you know why sudo is ignoring the prompt? Is it in a format that sudo doesn't like? Does sudo always ignore the -p option regardless if its from pam? Could pam be setting the -p option incorrectly? Would a fix require a patch to the sudo source? pam? Sorry, I don't know that much about sudo or

This is sudo not respecting the -p option when pam tells it to use another prompt. I'll be happy with any help on how to detect the sudo password prompt in a better way then is done today. -- gksudo doesn't ask for a password https://launchpad.net/bugs/54582 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bu
