Title:
  sudo wont give up asking for you password even after several worng
  attempts or if you are not a sudoer

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  I have my Ubuntu 8.10 up to date (as in now) and I was trying a
  command (any command will do) with the wrong user (not a sudoer) under
  the sudo root-like privileges

  I would expect something like this if I type the wrong password:

  bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su -
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 
  Sorry, try again.
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 
  Sorry, try again.
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 
  Sorry, try again.
  sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

  Or this, if I do not type any password (just press enter):

  bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su -
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 

  Or this, if I am not a sudoer:

  bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su - 
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 
  bzruser is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

  But instead, what I get is a never ending...
  [sudo] password for bzruser: 

  No matter how many times I type or not the password, right or wrong...
  until I press a ^C (Ctrl+C)

  This used to work fine up until 8.04
