Thank you for the bug report and thorough investigation. I'll look to inform upstream about this bug and hopefully get this solved soon. Checking just for /[:?]/ is not something that ocurred to me alone, but the result of lots of feedback from users. Checking for /password|passphrase/ on the other hand is quite a bad idea as that would break authentication against systems where the locale is not English based. I don't think it is possible to come to some regular expression that would catch all the possibilities. That is the reason the door is open for unhandled cases as the one you are facing through the password_prompt option. In any case, at this point it is too late to change the regular expressions used for password prompt detection as that would break lots of existant scripts and that is unaceptable to me (I am upstream, btw :-) This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
