https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221264 Bug ID: 221264 Summary: security/sudo: add passprompt example to ask for "root's password:" when using targetpw Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: garga@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bruce@cran.org.uk Flags: maintainer-feedback?(garga@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: garga@FreeBSD.org There's an example in the default sudoers file for having sudo ask for the target user's password instead of the current user's: Defaults targetpw # Ask for the password of the target user I like the way OpenSUSE handles this, in that it changes the password promp= t to make it clear that you should enter root's password and not your own. I think it would be nice if the example had the following additional line: Defaults passprompt=3D"%U's password:" --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
