There must be something in the code that is causing this. I confirm that neither the EV SUDO_PROMPT, nor passprompt_override in /etc/sudoers are set.
While I agree that it's purely cosmetic, it would be nice to have it fixed (pretty please).

Since upgrading to 18.04.1 LTS the output looks like: amonra@Charon:~$ ./storman [sudo] password for amonra: which as far as I can determine is not correct.
