X-RDate: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 14:24:00 +0500 (ESK) Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 10:24:36 +0300 From: GvS One <gvs@agmar.ru.> To: BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG Subject: FreeBSD getpass "feature" Hi, netters! I just found some discouraging feature of the getpass(3) function, which affects the all programs which are using it: passwd, login, ... When you press ^C (send intr) at the password prompt, you... can enter then password visible (echoed). It does _not_ affect slogin/ssh package because it uses other password giving mechanism. I don't know, if somebody consider this behaviour normal, but I'm not. So, after the few mail exchange with Guido, I've got the solution: install getpass v1.6 from the current CVS tree which is available from www.freebsd.org. Having problem with applying the fetched diff for getpass I patched it manually, rebuilt the diff and placed it to the ftp://ftp.agmar.ru/pub/unix/FreeBSD/getpass.c.1.5-1.6.diff So all those how think like me that's abnormal behaviour for the getpass can use it. Wish you well. SY, Seva Gluschenko, just stranger at the Road. --- IRC: erra * Origin: gone to the Internet (gvs@agmar.ru) [http://www.agmar.ru/~gvs/]
