Usin the '-S' switch, sudo can read passwords from stdin. Is there
a way (short of recompiling sudo) to make it output the password
prompt on stderr or stdout?
I'm trying to work sudo into a Qt3 app. It works OK if I explicitly
get the password and send it to sudo, but I would like to test
`sudo -v` to see if the password is really needed.
Is there maybe a better way to see if a password is needed?
