Bug Description

edubuntu beta2 usb live - 20120326 - I am a non-edubuntu user with administrative priviledges, nevertheless I cannot shutdown the system (see bug 930977), so I open a terminal and run "sudo init 0", I am prompted for my passwd and I type it. The system correctly shuts down and I reboot, logout from edubuntu and login as the previous administrative user. I open a terminal and type the bottom-up arrow to see my last commands and the first displayed line is my password that I typed as the very last thing before shutting down the system!!
