It's not a bug (well, not in the classic sense), and it's not new behaviour. > Su doesn't work at all. su complains "su: must be run from a terminal", and this helps point towards the underlying issue. When you run ssh with a command argument, it does not (by default) create a terminal. This means there's no way to disable echo, so sudo ends up prompting with a visible password. The solution is to force ssh to allocate a pseudo-tty, with the -t flag: ssh -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo ls Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
