I have defined the following alias in eshell:
$ alias
alias ff find-file $1
alias l ls -l $*
alias ll ls -l $*
alias sudo *sudo $*
When i run "sudo **" and input the root's password, the password is displayed completely.
Regards!

I hope that eshell doesnot display the entered password. – z_axis Nov 20 '12 at 01:58

When you run `sudo` in the eshell, what is the prompt that gets displayed asking for the password? – Trey Jackson Jan 03 '13 at 22:17

Chances are, the regexp that is being used to look for the password prompt isn't set up properly for your situation.
Try the following:
(require 'comint)
(setq comint-password-prompt-regexp
"\\(\\([Vv]erify\\|[Oo]ld \\|[Nn]ew \\|'s \\|login \\|\
Kerberos \\|CVS \\|UNIX \\| SMB \\|^\\)\
\\([Pp]assword\\|Verify\\\\|密码)\\( (again)\\)?\\|\
pass phrase\\|\\(Enter\\|Repeat\\|Bad\\) passphrase\\)\
\\(?:, try again\\)?\\(?: for [^:]+\\)?:\\s *\\'")
Note: I just took the value for comint-password-prompt-regexp and added the characters you said were your prompt.
