When entering the sudo password in Porthole, if the user types in the wrong password there is no way to retry. Closing the sync/emerge window isn't enough, Porthole must be restarted to get another attempt. It would be nice if it would come back with another attempt or two. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Porthole 2.Attempt an action that requires elevated privileges. 3.Enter in wrong password.
Which version are you referring to?

I will work on it somewhat, to see what I can do for -0.6.0 final. I don't want to do too many changes at this point. I intend to revamp the terminal and integrate libgksu for user/priviledge changes in the next release. so all the existing code will be obsolete.

This has been fixed and in svn revisions 1008, 1009, 1010. It will be included in the final version of porthole-0.6.0. Also improved is the password saved in memory is scrambled to prevent it from easily being viewed/compromised. As it turned out I had it basicly fixed in less than an hour, but it turned out sudo currently has an additional 43 insults that it can substitute for the default 'Sorry, try again.'. That took some additional coding and I added another category to the regexpression message filtering to catch any of the bad password messages. If you have configured sudo for anything other than the pre-configured messages you will need to edit the configuration.xml file and add them to the badpassword section. This bug can be marked as fixed upstream. Thank you, Brian
