Hello!

In NixOS, when running the command `nixos-rebuild` with the argument `--use-remote-sudo`, the password is asked for with the prompt "bash Password:".

This adds support for this in `comint-password-prompt-regexp`.

I added a test also.

Thoughts?

Actually, I might have misunderstood something here.

This patch seems to fail on M-x shell.

I will look into it further and confirm.

Please close this patch.

Sebastian wrote "close this patch", not "close the bug".

Sebastian, if this is still a problem for you, pls send the output of
'nixos-rebuild --use-remote-sudo', including the password prompt.

Best regards, Michael.

Hi!

Thanks, but you can close the bug.

What doesn't work is for the command I mentioned to use auth-source for
escalation, but that's a different issue that I haven't researched yet.

OK. Eli did already.

If there are further problems, you might ask at the <help-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org>
mailing list. And if there is really a bug, you'll report it.

Best regards, Michael.
