Package: bash
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: normal

If I type "su -c 'ifconfig | more'" I can type  my root password and
everything is ok; however, if I do "su -c ifconfig | more" or "su -c 'ifconfig 
-a' | more" or even "su -c 'ifconfig' | more", after entering the first letter
of my root password, the shell receives a line feed and obviously su fails. I 
don't really know if this has to do with su, bash, more or something else.
