well, couldnt this be implemented in the following manner:-

$ sudo -z

could mean that stars need to be displayed as the password is typed.

In terms of modifying the sudo package, we could add a feature whereby a simple call to a slightly modified getchar() could be made(which modifies "struct termios" values) and stars could be displayed when the password is typed.

is`nt this feasible?
