>Description:
sudo does not wait for password to be entered so the command always fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
sudo ls
This will print a password prompt, but return without waiting for the
password to be entered.
>Fix:
This is probably not the best fix. Something has changed in -current,
so the tgetpass function no longer works. I found that using the
system getpass worked.
Change Makefile to add --with-getpass to the compile options.
Here is the patch.
