Actually, this is easy to configure now in /etc/sudoers, as of Ubuntu Lucid.

Edit that file and changing one line:

-Defaults env_reset
+Defaults env_reset,pwfeedback

Save that file to disk and now try:

$ sudo -k /bin/true
[sudo] password for kirkland: ***************

Note that as soon as I hit "enter" all of the asterisks are deleted, masking my password once again.

Now the question ... Should we change this default value for Lucid?
