Hi Bdale, after I sent you the patch to patch sudo (and enable a better suited prompt) I stumbled across a bug report [1] in Ubuntus Launchpad that is similar to this one. That showed me that my patch were incomplete. There are two additional options that need to be considered (runaspw and targetpw). So I felt just updating %u to handle that is inappropriate and added a new placeholder (%p) which always points to the user _whose password sudo asks for_. It also updates the sudoers manpage to reflect this change, because it affects the sudo -p argument as well. I've tested the patch well every of the three configuration directives and haven't noticed any negative sideeffect. After all that is the real solution to the original bug report. Find the patch attached. Feel free to use it.
