This works, but without entering in `sudo -u root -s -H -p
P""a""s""s""w""o""r""d"": /bin/sh` first in the terminal, the rest
wouldn't work. The prompt just got stuck at `Find file: /sudo::` without
even seeing the password prompt. I would not be able to enter the
password in this case. I've attached the trace for this.
