using sudo in shell opens password prompt on terminal where shell was launched #747

! sudo ls try - you'll see the password prompt appear on the terminal if you launched the shell from a terminal.

i think that's a bug so labeling as such.

i think this is UNIX working as expected. sudo requires a real TTY, not a pipe.

perhaps there are some platform alternatives to this, which open up a platform window requesting credentials. do we want to go down this route?
