Hi

In the script su-to-root there is a prompt saying: 
        transl 'Enter %s passwd at prompt.\n' "$pwuser"
Should this be changed to the question: Enter %s password (instead of
passwd)?. When using passwd to change the password it also ask for a
new password. This would be "consistent" with the question in passwd?
(If this a possible suggestion to a change, then only the following
"patch" can be applied.)

Best regards,
Salvatore
