Hi,
there is this annoying thing that happens once in a bluemoon when i do sudo su in console.
It seems that sometimes after I type sudo su and then press enter, I'm about to type "pacman -Syu", then all of a sudden right after I'm about to type "p", it presses enter for me automatically, which immediately gives me the message : "bash: p: command not found".
It gets annoying a lot cuz it means that I have to press backspace. I have my user name in visudo setup like this:
dammit ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL. It only happens when I do sudo su. The current version of bash is bash 3.0-2.
I dunno how to fix this stupid annoyance, and curious if anyone experience the same senario?
thanks in advance.

out of curiosity, why "sudo su" for pacman... why not sudo pacman -Syu

actually it was just an example, but yeah i think i better put pacman into visudo because i use it a lot. atm sudo su is convenient way of goin to a super user since my password is quite long and with symbols

Wild shot in the dark, cause I had this happen to me:
Are you using an ssh client (such as SecureCRT) that can automate the login to certain sites?
Took me a good day to figure out what was happening there.

Hi, no I am not using any ssh client at the time. I dunno the cause because it happens so randomly, sometimes it happens after I login.

i thought i was dreaming when that happened to me... good to know im not imagining things... in anyway, it didnt happen to me too often so i didnt bother to check it. it did however, only happened in console mode. i hope u find the solution.
btw, if u too tired of retyping root's pass each time (like me), checkout the "su/sudo with no pass" i posted ( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=7534 )

Does it do this when you type "sudo su -" ? Just curious.

Nope, just a normal "sudo su", but it happens at random times, which makes it really hard to figure out.
thx
