I had, on a prior machine, changed the password prompt for sudo by adding

again.
Anyone?
sudoers(5) says that you should change 'passprompt_override' setting.

I'm trying, but failing to find an example of how to use that, like the
precise syntax to use.
The man page doesn't give any example, so it's not clear how to use it.
This line in /etc/sudoers works for me:
Defaults passprompt_override,passprompt="ENTER NUCLEAR LAUNCH CODE:"
Of course you should use visudo, not edit /etc/sudoers directly.
