Um, right, silly me, it's a shell alias. It seems to be a
sudo -iu causr which will run the profile for the user
causr and it is within there that this is prompting.
Sudo manual page
Quote:
-i
Run the shell specified by the target user's password database entry as a login shell. This means that login-specific resource files such as .profile or .login will be read by the shell. If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution via the shell's -c option. If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed. sudo attempts to change to that user's home directory before running the shell. The command is run with an environment similar to the one a user would receive at log in. The Command environment section in the sudoers(5) manual documents how the -i option affects the environment in which a command is run when the sudoers policy is in use.
Can you get at the profile for account
causr and see what it does?
