The above is incorrect. If I use gksu nautilus, the password is spoken as asterisks, if I use sudo in a terminal, the password is asterisks, if I login, the password is asterisks. If I run update-manager, the password is asterisks. The only instance I have found that echoes the password in clear language is the Users and Groups.
