sudo && rsh question

I have a slight problem with running sudo over an rsh connection.
If I rsh to a box and pass to it the sudo command my password gets echo'ed to stdout.
eg
# rsh host sudo ls /
Password:thepassword
It seems that this is a terminal handling problem.
If I run:
# rsh host xterm -e sudo ls /
an exterm starts up and I can type my password in without it being echo'ed to stdout.
The xterm then sits in the background.
I have tryed using subshells and couldn't suss it out.
Can anyone recommend a way so that the terminal does *not* echo my password when sudo prompts
for it.
Thanks
