 |
|
I need to scp some file as root today, so I issued the command:
| Code: | | sudo scp root@remotehost:path . |
As a result, I got two "Password:" prompt, one from sudo and the other from scp. It confused me for a bit. Then I noticed on my friend's Ubuntu machine, when one issue a sudo the prompt is something like:
| Code: | | [sudo] Password (sudouser): |
Can this be set somewhere? Or is this hard-coded in?
[EDIT]man sudo shows there is a -P option, so I suppose an alias would work.
Google-solved:
| Code: | | Default passprompt="[sudo] Password (%u):" |
in /etc/sudoers
[/EDIT]
